Our proposed method can not only successfully learn the clean target distribution from a dirty dataset but also can estimate the underlying noise pattern. To this end, we leverage a mixture-of-experts model that can distinguish two different types of predictive uncertainty, aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty. We show that the ability to estimate the uncertainty plays a significant role in elucidating the corruption patterns as these two objectives are tightly intertwined. We also present a novel validation scheme for evaluating the performance of the corruption pattern estimation. Our proposed method is extensively assessed in terms of both robustness and corruption pattern estimation through a number of domains, including computer vision and natural language processing.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.01632v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.01632v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"elucidating-noisy-data-via-uncertainty-aware","repo_url":"https://github.com/jeongeun980906/uncertainty-aware-robust-learning","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"mixture-of-experts","task_name":"Mixture-of-Experts"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
