Level Annotation
Level annotation in machine learning focuses on reducing the need for extensive, fully labeled datasets by leveraging partially annotated or weakly supervised data. Current research emphasizes developing algorithms and model architectures, such as dual-branch networks and generative models, that effectively utilize these limited annotations, often incorporating techniques like pseudo-labeling and self-supervised pre-training to improve performance. This research is significant because it addresses the high cost and time associated with manual annotation, enabling the development and application of machine learning models in resource-constrained settings and across diverse scientific domains, including medical image analysis and document processing.
