Most existing distance metric learning approaches use fully labeled data to learn the sample similarities in an embedding space. We present a self-training framework, SLADE, to improve retrieval performance by leveraging additional unlabeled data. We first train a teacher model on the labeled data and use it to generate pseudo labels for the unlabeled data. We then train a student model on both labels and

We propose, implement, and evaluate a new algorithm for releasing answers to very large numbers of statistical queries like k-way marginals, subject to differential privacy. Our algorithm makes adaptive use of a continuous relaxation of the Projection Mechanism, which answers queries on the private dataset using simple perturbation, and then attempts to find the synthetic dataset that most closely matches

We propose a semi-supervised approach for contemporary object detectors following the teacher-student dual model framework. Our method is featured with 1) the exponential moving averaging strategy to update the teacher from the student online, 2) using plenty of region proposals and soft pseudo-labels as the student’s training targets, and 3) a light-weighted detection-specific data ensemble for the teacher

Compared to software bugs, code smells are more significant in software engineering research. It is not easy to detect code smells through traditional methods. In this work, we propose a novel code smells detection approach based on deep learning. The experiments show that our work achieves high scores in terms of F2 score.

Exploiting label hierarchies has become a promising approach to tackling the zero-shot multi-label text classification (ZS-MTC) problem. Conventional methods aim to learn a matching model between text and labels, using a graph encoder to incorporate label hierarchies to obtain effective label representations (Rios and Kavuluru, 2018). More recently, pretrained models like BERT (Devlin et al., 2018) have
