This talk will review recent research and explore the evolution of developing machine learning models with imperfect and noisy data.
In recent machine learning applications, it is often challenging to collect a large amount of high-quality labeled data. However, learning from unlabeled data is not necessarily reliable. To overcome this problem, the use of imperfect data is promising. In this talk, I will review our recent research on reliable machine learning from imperfect supervision, including weakly supervised learning, noisy label learning, and transfer learning. Finally, I will discuss how machine learning research should evolve in the era of large foundation models.
