Researchers have introduced C-Score, a novel framework designed to evaluate the robustness of semi-supervised learning (SSL) models, particularly when faced with unlabeled data contaminated by out-of-distribution (OOD) samples. Traditional SSL methods often assume clean data, but C-Score addresses the issue of "hidden collapse" where model performance metrics may appear stable despite internal degradation. The framework assesses training behavior across prediction, feature representation, and optimization spaces, utilizing metrics like PLE, CCI, Sem-Drift, and Grad-Align. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets demonstrated that C-Score effectively reveals performance drops that standard accuracy metrics fail to detect, highlighting the necessity of internal diagnostic signals for reliable SSL evaluation in real-world, open-world scenarios.
