Review for NeurIPS paper: FixMatch: Simplifying Semi-Supervised Learning with Consistency and Confidence

Neural Information Processing Systems 

I cite from ReMixMatch figure caption: "Augmentation anchoring. We use the prediction for a weakly augmented image (green, middle) as the target for predictions on strong augmentations of the same image". This sounds to me as a summary of the presented work, and as such I consider it a special case of the ReMixMatch. Authors have discussed the differences between their work and ReMixMatch, mentioning that (1) "ReMixMatch don t use pseudo labeling", and (2) ReMixMatch uses sharpening of pseudolabels and weight annealing of the unlabeled data loss. However, in section 3.2.1 of ReMixMatch, it is stated that the guessed labels are used as targets (for strongly augmented images) using cross-entropy loss.
