SimPLE introduces a Pair Loss to semi-supervised learning, leveraging similarities between distinct, high-confidence unlabeled samples to extend consistency regularization beyond individual samples. It improves classification accuracy on challenging datasets like CIFAR-100 and Mini-ImageNet and boosts performance in transfer learning scenarios.

Key insights

  • Explicitly modeling similarities between distinct, high-confidence unlabeled data points provides valuable information for semi-supervised learning.
  • The Bhattacharyya coefficient serves as an effective metric for measuring similarity between pseudo-label probability distributions, guiding the Pair Loss.
  • Combining inter-sample consistency (Pair Loss) with traditional within-sample consistency and supervised learning improves model generalization and accelerates convergence.
