Semi-supervised learning method based on predefined evenly-distributed class centroids
share
Compared to supervised learning, semi-supervised learning reduces the dependence of deep learning on a large number of labeled samples. In this work, we use a small number of labeled samples and perform data augmentation on unlabeled samples to achieve image classification. Our method constrains all samples to the predefined evenly-distributed class centroids (PEDCC) by the corresponding loss function. Specifically, the PEDCC-Loss for labeled samples, and the maximum mean discrepancy loss for unlabeled samples are used to make the feature distribution closer to the distribution of PEDCC. Our method ensures that the inter-class distance is large and the intra-class distance is small enough to make the classification boundaries between different classes clearer. Meanwhile, for unlabeled samples, we also use KL divergence to constrain the consistency of the network predictions between unlabeled and augmented samples. Our semi-supervised learning method achieves the state-of-the-art results, with 4000 labeled samples on CIFAR10 and 1000 labeled samples on SVHN, and the accuracy is 95.10
