The paper proposes a novel unified learning framework, called “Feature and Label Recovery” (FLR), to combat hybrid noise in machine learning models. Hybrid noise combines both feature noise and label noise, which is common in real-world applications due to unreliable data collection and annotation processes. FLR concurrently reconstructs the feature matrix and label matrix of input data using low-rank approximation and nuclear norm regularization. The framework leads to a non-convex optimization problem, solved by a non-convex Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) with convergence guarantee. Experimental results show the superiority of FLR over state-of-the-art robust learning approaches.

The paper tries to solve a big problem in machine learning: when we have noisy data. Noisy data means that some information is incorrect or missing, which makes it hard for machines to learn from it. The authors propose a new way to fix this problem by combining two techniques: one for fixing the noise in features (like images) and another for fixing the noise in labels (what the machine is supposed to learn). This method works well on real-world datasets and outperforms other methods.
