Local Clustering with Mean Teacher for Semi-supervised learning
2020 25TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PATTERN RECOGNITION (ICPR), pp. 6243–6250.
TL;DR:
This work proposes a simple yet effective method called Local Clustering (LC) to mitigate the effect of confirmation bias in the Mean Teacher model and demonstrates on semi-supervised benchmark datasets SVHN and CIFAR-10 that adding the LC loss to MT yields significant improvements compared to MT and performance comparable to the state of the art in semi- supervised learning.
