Peer Loss functions

This repository is the (Multi-Class & Deep Learning) Pytorch implementation of "Peer Loss Functions: Learning from Noisy Labels without Knowing Noise Rates" accepted by ICML2020.

Required Packages & Environment

Supported OS: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X; Python: 3.6/3.7;

Deep Learning Library: PyTorch (GPU required)

Required Packages: Numpy, Pandas, random, sklearn, tqdm, csv, torch (Keras is required if you want to estimate the noise transition matrix).

Utilities

This repository includes:

📋 Multi-class implementation of Peer Loss functions;

📋 Peer Loss functions in Deep Learning;

📋 Dynamical tunning strategies of Peer Loss functions to further improve the performance.

Details of running (weighted) Peer Loss functions on MNIST, Fashion MNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 with different noise setting are mentioned in the README.md file in each folder.

The workflow of weighted Peer Loss functions comes to:

Decision boundary visualization

Given a 2D syntheric dataset, the decision boundaries returned by training with Cross-entropy loss become loose when the noise rate is high. However, the decision boundaries w.r.t. Peer Loss functions remain tight despite high presence of label noise.
