The proposed Open-world Long-tailed Semi-supervised Learning (OLSSL) algorithm, dubbed ROLSSL, tackles the limitations of existing OLSSL methods by assuming no distribution relationships between known and novel categories. This setting is more realistic, as it acknowledges that acquiring valid annotations can be costly in real-world scenarios. The solution involves a dual-stage post-hoc logit adjustment strategy that considers sample frequency, total category count, and data size to dynamically adjust predictive probabilities and mitigate category bias. Experimental results on CIFAR100 and ImageNet100 demonstrate performance improvements of up to 50.1%, establishing the proposed method as a strong baseline for this task.

Imagine you have a special kind of learning problem where you need to identify things in pictures, but sometimes those pictures are new and never seen before. The problem is that these new pictures might look very different from the old ones. To solve this, researchers created a new way to learn called Open-world Long-tailed Semi-supervised Learning (OLSSL). This method tries to figure out how to tell apart the old pictures from the new ones, even if they’re not similar at all. The idea is that by looking at many pictures and seeing which ones are more common or less common, we can learn how to identify the new pictures better. This approach worked really well on some famous image recognition datasets, showing that it’s a good way to solve this kind of problem.
