Pseudo-label Learning with Calibrated Confidence Using an Energy-based Model
<|reference_start|>Pseudo-label Learning with Calibrated Confidence Using an Energy-based Model: In pseudo-labeling (PL), which is a type of semi-supervised learning, pseudo-labels are assigned based on the confidence scores provided by the classifier; therefore, accurate confidence is important for successful PL. In this study, we propose a PL algorithm based on an energy-based model (EBM), which is referred to as the energy-based PL (EBPL). In EBPL, a neural network-based classifier and an EBM are jointly trained by sharing their feature extraction parts. This approach enables the model to learn both the class decision boundary and input data distribution, enhancing confidence calibration during network training. The experimental results demonstrate that EBPL outperforms the existing PL method in semi-supervised image classification tasks, with superior confidence calibration error and recognition accuracy.<|reference_end|>
