New GBC Framework Enhances Long-Tailed Semi-Supervised Learning

Researchers have developed a new framework called Gaussian Bridge Consistency (GBC) to improve semi-supervised learning (SSL) in scenarios with long-tailed label distributions and noisy pseudo-labels. GBC constructs semantic interpolation paths between unlabeled samples and high-quality class anchors using a dynamic Prototype Atlas. This allows a student model to learn by traversing a smooth trajectory from uncertain predictions to reliable class prototypes, enforced by a bridge consistency loss. Additionally, a confidence-aware feature mixing strategy called BridgeMix is introduced to enhance cross-sample generalization. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and scalable semi-supervised learning models, particularly in domains with imbalanced data.

    Geometric Regularization for Long-Tailed Semi-Supervised Learning via Gaussian Feature Bridges

    arXiv:2608.20710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world semi-supervised learning (SSL) often encounters significant challenges with long-tailed label distributions and noisy pseudo-labels, which hinder generalization and amplify confirmation bias. In this work, we introduce a …
