Abstract: Long-Tailed Semi-Supervised Learning (LTSSL) aims to learn from class-imbalanced data where only a few samples are annotated. Existing solutions typically require substantial cost to solve complex optimization problems, or class-balanced undersampling which can result in information loss. In this paper, we present the TRAS (TRAnsfer and Share) to effectively utilize long-tailed semi-supervised data. TRAS transforms the imbalanced pseudo-label distribution of a traditional SSL model via a delicate function to enhance the supervisory signals for minority classes. It then transfers the distribution to a target model such that the minority class will receive significant attention. Interestingly, TRAS shows that more balanced pseudo-label distribution can substantially benefit minority-class training, instead of seeking to generate accurate pseudo-labels as in previous works. To simplify the approach, TRAS merges the training of the traditional SSL model and the target model into a single procedure by sharing the feature extractor, where both classifiers help improve the representation learning. According to extensive experiments, TRAS delivers much higher accuracy than state-of-the-art methods in the entire set of classes as well as minority classes. Code for TRAS is available at https://github.com/Stomach-ache/TRAS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
