2. 摘要

重述问题：从监督学习的角度来描述使用标签噪声学习的问题；
方法回顾：对57种最先进的鲁棒训练方法进行了全面的回顾，并根据其方法差异分为5组；然后系统地比较了六种属性来评估它们的优越性；
评估：对噪声率估计进行了深入的分析，并总结了典型使用的评估方法，包括公共噪声数据集和评估指标；
总结：我们提出了几个很有前途的研究方向。

3. 研究Noise Learn的意义

对比了三种情况，第一种是clean数据的训练情况；第二种是noise数据没有加入Reg(正则化)的情况；第三种是noise数据加入了Reg的情况；一般情况下我们想方设法去处理正则的内容（data augmentation，weight decay，dropout， batch normalization），可是noise的影响也是很大的，像图中的Gap.

4. 目前的相关综述

Frenay and Verleysen [12] —Classifification in the presence of label noise: A survey-2013–经典的监督学习（说明了noise的定义，来源等等相关内容。Bayes,SVM）—讲述了noise学习的统计学习；

Zhang et al. [27]—Learning from crowdsourced labeled data: A survey–2016-- 讨论众包数据方法（expectation maximization (EM) algorithms）—其实这是不错的一篇综述，工程上挺有用的，众包情景就是一个好的情境。

这篇论文可以结合弱监督的论文来看，特征在后面的推理Ground truth那里。

Hanet al. [29] --A survey of label-noise representation learning: Past,present and future-- 2020-- 总结了带有噪声标签的robust学习的基本组成部分，但它们的分类与我们的哲学分类完全不同；从机器学习的定义出去去讲述Noise学习的问题，对于理解机器学习有很帮助的一篇文章，之前也看到篇相关的，忘记哪篇了，也是从机器学习定义出发去讲述一件事情；

给出LNRL的定义；
从学习理论的视角对Noise训练有更深一层的理解；
从数据、目标，优化算子的角度进行了分类；并分析了各类的优缺点；
提出了新的研究方法；

这篇文章写得也比较清淅的：

第1节，引言；写作动机与贡献，文章组织情况；

第2节写了Lable-Noise学习的相关文献，完整版本见附录1(早期（1988开始）–Emerging Stage（2015）-- Flourished Stage（2019）)；

第3节综述的概述，包括LNRL的正式定义、核心问题，以及根据数据、目标和优化对现有工作的分类；

第4节针对利用噪声转换矩阵来求解LNRL的方法；

第5节是关于修改目标函数以使LNRL可行的方法；

第6节是关于利用深度网络的特性来解决LNRL问题的方法；

在第7节中，我们提出了LNRL的未来发展方向。除了LNRL之外，该调查还揭示了几个很有前途的未来方向；

在第8节，总结；

对于数据，主要是一个Noise transition matrix T，T提示了clean标注与noise标注的关系；使用三种方法去使用T来处理Noise标注；

7. 数据集

8. 总结

其实弱监督学习，noise学习，主动学习，出发点都是想去解决语料的问题。弱监督是想在没有标准的数据上进行自动标注，然后对这些标注进行软合并；noise学习，解决标注出来数据的noise问题；主动学习，就是用机器到已标注的数据进行学习，对未标注的样本进行估计，目前是想用直可能标注的样本数据来代替整个样本集的内容。

可是发现，很多领域都是在处理图像的，自然语言是否可以考虑？
