Single model performace with pseudo labeling

I generate a pseudo label list containing 1.5k samples when I reached 0.940 in public LB, and I kept using this list till the competition ended. I used the bottleneck feature of the arcface model (my baseline model) to calculate cosine distance of train test images. For those few shot classes (less than 2 samples), I choose 0.65 as the threshold to filter high confidence samples. I think it will be better result using 0.970 LB model to find pseudo label.
