Separated and Independent Contrastive Semi-Supervised Learning for Imbalanced Datasets by Dongyoung Kim, Won-Sook Lee, Young-Woong Ko, Jeong-Gun Lee

“…Existing contrastive SSL methods typically rely on pseudo-labels generated from unlabeled data, which can be inaccurate and introduce confirmation bias toward majority classes. To address this issue, we propose Separated and Independent Contrastive Semi-Supervised Learning (SICSSL), which applies supervised contrastive learning separately and independently to labeled and unlabeled samples. …”
