Leveraging Unlabeled Data to Track Memorization

Patrick Thiran, Mahsa Forouzesh, Hanie Sedghi

Deep neural networks may easily memorize noisy labels present in real-world data, which degrades their ability to generalize. It is therefore important to track and evaluate the robustness of models against noisy label memorization. We propose a metric, ca ...
