Prompt-driven efficient Open-set Semi-supervised Learning
share
Open-set semi-supervised learning (OSSL) has attracted growing interest, which investigates a more practical scenario where out-of-distribution (OOD) samples are only contained in unlabeled data. Existing OSSL methods like OpenMatch learn an OOD detector to identify outliers, which often update all modal parameters (i.e., full fine-tuning) to propagate class information from labeled data to unlabeled ones. Currently, prompt learning has been developed to bridge gaps between pre-training and fine-tuning, which shows higher computational efficiency in several downstream tasks. In this paper, we propose a prompt-driven efficient OSSL framework, called OpenPrompt, which can propagate class information from labeled to unlabeled data with only a small number of trainable parameters. We propose a prompt-driven joint space learning mechanism to detect OOD data by maximizing the distribution gap between ID and OOD samples in unlabeled data, thereby our method enables the outliers to be detected in a new way. The experimental results on three public datasets show that OpenPrompt outperforms state-of-the-art methods with less than 1 trainable parameters. More importantly, OpenPrompt achieves a 4 terms of AUROC on outlier detection over a fully supervised model on CIFAR10.
