Deep semi-supervised segmentation with weight-averaged consistency targets
Recently proposed techniques for semi-supervised learning such as Temporal
Ensembling and Mean Teacher have achieved state-of-the-art results in many
important classification benchmarks. In this work, we expand the Mean Teacher
approach to segmentation tasks and show that it can bring important
improvements in a realistic small data regime using a publicly available
multi-center dataset from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) domain. We also
devise a method to solve the problems that arise when using traditional data
augmentation strategies for segmentation tasks on our new training scheme.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, accepted for DLMIA/MICCA
A sequential dual method for the structured ramp loss minimization
The paper presents a sequential dual method for the non-convex structured ramp loss minimization. The method uses the concave-convex procedure which transforms a non-convex problem iterativelly into a series of convex ones. The sequential minimal optimization is used to deal with the convex optimization by sequentially traversing through the data and optimizing parameters associated with the incrementally built set of active structures inside each of the training examples. The paper includes the results on two sequence labeling problems, shallow parsing and part-of-speech tagging, and also presents the results on artificial data when the method is exposed to outlayers. The comparison with a primal sub-gradient method with the structured ramp and hinge loss is also presented
