Most of the modern machine learning models based on deep learning techniques depend on carefully curated and cleanly labeled training sets to be reliably trained and deployed. However, the expensive labeling process involved in the acquisition of such training sets limits the number and size of datasets available to build new models, slowing down progress in the field. This book defines the different types of label noise, introduces the theory behind the problem, presents the main techniques that enable the effective use of noisy-label training sets, and explains the most accurate methods.
- Shows how to design and reproduce regression, classification and segmentation models using large-scale noisy-label training sets
- Gives an understanding of the theory of, and motivation for, noisy-label learning
- Shows how to classify noisy-label learning methods into a set of core techniques
Senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in computer vision and medical imaging, machine learning, biomedical engineering, Radiologists
