Themostpopular fashion of SSFSL is to predict unlabeled data with pseudo-labels by carefully devising tailored strategies, and then augment the extremely small support set of labeled data in few-shot classification,e.g., [9,15,36].

Semisupervised learning uses the trained encoder in learning a predictive model on both labeled and unlabeleddata. Figure 3: The proposed data corruption procedure. Original feature matrix(X) consists of four samples xi,i = 1...,4, where each row/column represents a sample/feature, and the features in each sample are represented by the same color. In the experiment section of the main manuscript, we evaluate VIME and its benchmarks on 11 datasets(6genomics,2clinical,and3publicdatasets). The selected SNPs and the corresponding blood cell trait together form an independent labeled dataset.

Semi-supervised learning aims to leverage alarge amount of unlabeled data for performance boosting. Existing works primarily focus on image classification. Inthispaper,wedelveintosemi-supervised learning forobject detection, where labeled data are more labor-intensive to collect.

However, ifτ is too high, most of the unlabeled data points would not be used for consistency regularization. Based on these insights, we setτ as 0.95 in our experiments. We describe further details of the experimental setup. To train the ReMixMatch, we gradually increased the coefficient of the loss associated with the unlabeled data points, following [4]. We found that without this gradual increase, the validation loss of the ReMixMatch did not converge.
