Challenge: Upon closer inspection, we found inconsistencies in the labeling of similar items.
Approach: They propose to improve an existing product categorization model that takes a product title as input and outputs the most suitable category out of thousands of available candidates.
Outcome: The proposed model is based on a product title and outputs the most suitable category out of thousands of available candidates.

Unsupervised Data Augmentation with Naive Augmentation and without Unlabeled Data (2021.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Unsupervised Data Augmentation (UDA) is a semisupervised learning method that penalizes differences between a model's predictions on unlabeled examples and corresponding 'noised' examples produced via data augmentation.
Approach: They propose to use a consistency loss to penalize differences between models' predictions on unlabeled and unlabed examples to enforce consistency between models and their perturbed counterparts.
Outcome: The proposed method is able to penalize differences between models' outputs on unlabeled and unlabed examples without complex data augmentation.
