Agreement or Disagreement in Noise-tolerant Mutual Learning?

29 Mar 2022  ·  Jiarun Liu, Daguang Jiang, Yukun Yang, Ruirui Li ·

Deep learning has made many remarkable achievements in many fields but suffers from noisy labels in datasets. The state-of-the-art learning with noisy label method Co-teaching and Co-teaching+ confronts the noisy label by mutual-information between dual-network. However, the dual network always tends to convergent which would weaken the dual-network mechanism to resist the noisy labels. In this paper, we proposed a noise-tolerant framework named MLC in an end-to-end manner. It adjusts the dual-network with divergent regularization to ensure the effectiveness of the mechanism. In addition, we correct the label distribution according to the agreement between dual-networks. The proposed method can utilize the noisy data to improve the accuracy, generalization, and robustness of the network. We test the proposed method on the simulate noisy dataset MNIST, CIFAR-10, and the real-world noisy dataset Clothing1M. The experimental result shows that our method outperforms the previous state-of-the-art method. Besides, our method is network-free thus it is applicable to many tasks.
