Enhancing CLIP with CLIP: Exploring Pseudolabeling for Limited-Label Prompt Tuning
The paper explores the use of pseudolabels, which are heuristic labels for unlabeled data, to enhance the performance of vision-language models like CLIP via prompt tuning. The authors investigate different learning paradigms and prompt modalities and find that iterative prompt-training strategies leveraging CLIP-based pseudolabels lead to significant improvements in CLIP's image classification performance.

Alfred: A System for Prompted Weak Supervision
The paper introduces Alfred, a system for programmatic weak supervision (PWS) that creates training data for machine learning by prompting. It enables users to encode their subject matter expertise via natural language prompts for language and vision-language models.

Leveraging Instance Features for Label Aggregation in Programmatic Weak Supervision
The paper proposes a statistical label model called FABLE that incorporates instance features to improve the accuracy of inferred truth in Programmatic Weak Supervision (PWS). FABLE is built on a mixture of Bayesian label models, where the coefficients of the mixture components are predicted by a Gaussian Process classifier based on instance features.

Large Language Model as Attributed Training Data Generator: A Tale of Diversity and Bias
Large language models (LLMs) have been recently leveraged as training data generators for various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. While previous research has explored different approaches to training models using generated data, they generally rely on simple class-conditional prompts, which may limit the diversity of the generated data and inherit systematic biases of LLM. Thus, we investigate training data generation with diversely attributed prompts (e.g., specifying attributes like length and style), which have the potential to yield diverse and attributed generated data. Our investigation focuses on datasets with high cardinality and diverse domains, wherein we demonstrate that attributed prompts outperform...
