This paper demonstrates that WEAPO, a Weak Supervision method for binary classification tasks with only positive labeling sources, is effective and efficient—achieving the highest performance of the tested Weak Supervision approaches in terms of label quality and final classifier accuracy on 10 benchmark datasets.

This paper demonstrates a mathematical analysis of zero-shot learning with attributes, providing a tight lower bound on the worst-case error of the best map from attributes to classes and showing that this bound is predictive of how standard zero-shot methods behave in practice.

AutoWS-Bench-101 is a framework for evaluating automated weak supervision techniques compared to other baseline methods such as zero-shot foundation models and supervised learning, in order to help practitioners choose the best method to generate additional labels.

This paper finds that weak supervision can be used beyond classification applications, including rankings, graphs, and manifolds, and can provide generalization guarantees nearly identical to models trained on clean data.

This paper proposes source-aware variation of Influence Function, which measures the influence of individual components in the Programmatic Weak Supervision pipeline, and can be used for multiple purposes such as understanding incorrect predictions, identifying mislabeling of sources, and improving the end model’s generalization performance.

BigBIO is a community library of biomedical NLP datasets that facilitates meta-dataset curation and enables zero-shot evaluation of biomedical prompts and multi-task learning.

This work proposes and theoretically justifies a model that fuses weak supervision and generative adversarial networks to improve the estimate of unobserved labels and data augmentation, outperforming baseline weak supervision models on multiclass image classification datasets.

Compositional soft prompting is a parameter-efficient technique that improves the zero-shot compositionality of large-scale pretrained VLMs by learnable tokens of vocabulary and outperforms existing methods on benchmark datasets.
