Rough set-based feature selection for weakly labeled data

A Campagner, D Ciucci, E Hüllermeier - International Journal of …, 2021 - Elsevier
Supervised learning is an important branch of machine learning (ML), which requires a
complete annotation (labeling) of the involved training data. This assumption is relaxed in …

Distill or annotate? cost-efficient fine-tuning of compact models

J Kang, W Xu, A Ritter - arxiv preprint arxiv:2305.01645, 2023 - arxiv.org
Fine-tuning large models is highly effective, however, inference can be expensive and
produces carbon emissions. Knowledge distillation has been shown to be a practical …

Foreseeing the benefits of incidental supervision

H He, M Zhang, Q Ning, D Roth - arxiv preprint arxiv:2006.05500, 2020 - arxiv.org
Real-world applications often require improved models by leveraging a range of cheap
incidental supervision signals. These could include partial labels, noisy labels, knowledge …

Data-efficient Active Learning for Structured Prediction with Partial Annotation and Self-Training

Z Zhang, E Strubell, E Hovy - arxiv preprint arxiv:2305.12634, 2023 - arxiv.org
In this work we propose a pragmatic method that reduces the annotation cost for structured
label spaces using active learning. Our approach leverages partial annotation, which …

[PDF][PDF] Learning and inference for structured prediction: A unifying perspective

A Deshwal, JR Doppa, D Roth - … of the Twenty-Eighth international joint …, 2019 - par.nsf.gov
In a structured prediction problem, one needs to learn a predictor that, given a structured
input, produces a structured object, such as a sequence, tree, or clustering output …

Learnability with indirect supervision signals

K Wang, Q Ning, D Roth - Advances in Neural Information …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Learning from indirect supervision signals is important in real-world AI applications when,
