New theory explains semi-supervised learning efficiency via data augmentation

A new paper published on arXiv introduces a theoretical framework for understanding the efficiency of semi-supervised learning. The research proposes that data augmentation creates a similarity graph on unlabeled data, enabling graph-Laplacian-regularized learning. This approach theoretically demonstrates a faster learning rate with fewer labels compared to traditional supervised methods, with the quality of data augmentation directly impacting the required number of labels.

    Fast Rates for Semi-Supervised Learning via Data-Augmentation Graph Regularization

    Self-supervised learning matches supervised accuracy from a fraction of the labels, but the labeled-sample efficiency behind this has lacked a theoretical explanation. We provide one. Data augmentation induces a similarity graph on the unlabeled data, so downstream learning on th…
