In supervised machine learning, the assumption that training data is labelled correctly is not always satisfied. In this paper, we investigate an instance of labelling error for classification tasks in which the dataset is corrupted with out-of-distribution (OOD) instances: data that does not belong to any of the target classes, but is labelled as such. We show that detecting and relabelling certain OOD instances, rather than discarding them, can have a positive effect on learning. The proposed…

A generic way to handle noisy and incomplete labeling by augmenting the prediction objective with a notion of consistency is proposed, which considers a prediction consistent if the same prediction is made given similar percepts, where the notion of similarity is between deep network features computed from the input data.
