Consistency Learning

Consistency learning is a semi-supervised machine learning technique aiming to improve model robustness and generalization by enforcing consistent predictions under various data augmentations or perturbations. Current research focuses on applying consistency learning to diverse tasks, including image segmentation, object detection, natural language processing, and time series classification, often employing transformer-based architectures or variations of mean teacher models. This approach is particularly valuable in scenarios with limited labeled data, enhancing model performance and efficiency across a wide range of applications, from medical image analysis to robust language models.
