arXiv:2608. 03432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Refurbishment-based noisy-label learning mixes an observed label with a model-derived pseudo target, typically using one sample-wise cleanliness score to control both branches.

arXiv:2606. 14965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic instance-dependent label noise (IDN) benchmarks are widely used to evaluate noisy-label learning methods, yet existing approaches typically generate noise through imperfect annotators or classifier raters, leaving the source of ambiguity implicit.

The paper compares five machine unlearning (MU) methods—NegGrad, Fine‑Tuning (FT), Random Labeling (RL), SalUn, and MUNBa—on noisy‑label correction across CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, and Food‑101N. Results show that the best MU strategy depends on the noise type: FT works well for most closed‑set noise, RL and SalUn are robust and nearly match retraining accuracy under instance‑dependent noise, while MUNBa excels only under extreme symmetric noise. In open‑set noise, retraining on the cleaned data actually hurts performance, indicating that approximating retraining is not suitable in that regime, yet all MU methods still achieve near‑retraining accuracy on Food‑101N with much lower runtime.

The paper proposes a method that first pre‑trains a feature extractor on the target dataset using in‑domain self‑supervised learning (SSL) without labels, then performs standard supervised training on the same noisy dataset. This two‑stage approach eliminates the need for a clean label subset and consistently improves classification accuracy and label‑error detection across synthetic and real‑world noise, especially as noise rates increase. Experiments show that the method matches or surpasses ImageNet and DinoV2 pre‑training, particularly under high noise conditions.
