Rethinking Noisy Label Models: Labeler-Dependent Noise with Adversarial Awareness
Most studies on learning from noisy labels rely on unrealistic models of i.i.d. label noise, such as class-conditional transition matrices. More recent work on instance-dependent noise models are more realistic, but assume a single generative process for label noise across the entire dataset. We propose a more principled model of label noise that generalizes instance-dependent noise to multiple labelers, based on the observation that modern datasets are typically annotated using distributed crowdsourcing methods. Under our labeler-dependent model, label noise manifests itself under two modalities: natural error of good-faith labelers, and adversarial labels provided by malicious actors. We present two adversarial attack vectors that more accurately reflect the label noise that may be encountered in real-world settings, and demonstrate that under our multimodal noisy labels model, state-of-the-art approaches for learning from noisy labels are defeated by adversarial label attacks. Finally, we propose a multi-stage, labeler-aware, model-agnostic framework that reliably filters noisy labels by leveraging knowledge about which data partitions were labeled by which labeler, and show that our proposed framework remains robust even in the presence of extreme adversarial label noise.

Active Learning from Imperfect Labelers
We study active learning where the labeler can not only return incorrect labels but also abstain from labeling. We consider different noise and abstention conditions of the labeler. We propose an algorithm which utilizes…
Active LearningA Data-Centric Framework for Detecting and Correcting Corrupted Labels
The performance of machine learning and deep learning models largely depends on the quality of the training data. However, the quality of the real-world datasets is often compromised by noisy labels, which can substantia…
Active Learning for Noisy Data Streams Using Weak and Strong Labelers
Labeling data correctly is an expensive and challenging task in machine learning, especially for on-line data streams. Deep learning models especially require a large number of clean labeled data that is very difficult t…

Label noise widely exists in large-scale datasets and significantly degenerates the performances of deep learning algorithms. Due to the non-identifiability of the instance-dependent noise transition matrix, most existin…
Representation LearningFrom Theory to Decision Rule: Calibrating the Noisy-Label Crossover for Vision-Language Model Weak Supervision Across Three Medical-Imaging Benchmarks
Classical noisy-label theory predicts that downstream performance under weak supervision is bounded above by the labeler's accuracy, implying a sharp crossover: once a gold-trained classifier matches the labeler, weak la…
