GOGGLES: Automatic Image Labeling with Affinity Coding
Summary: GOGGLES introduces affinity coding, a domain-agnostic approach to automatic image labeling using affinity functions to compare instance pairs and separate same-class from different-class pairs. A hierarchical generative model infers labels from a small development set, delivering 71-98% accuracy and outperforming Snuba and few-shot baselines while approaching fully supervised performance.
