PWS uses various weak supervision techniques to estimate the underlying class labels of data, while generative models primarily concentrate on sampling from the underlying distribution of the given dataset. Although these methods have the potential to complement each other, they have mostly been studied independently. Recently, WSGAN proposed a mechanism to fuse these two models. Their approach utilizes the discrete latent factors of InfoGAN to train the label model and leverages the class-dependent information of the label model to generate images of specific classes. However, the disentangled latent factors learned by InfoGAN might not necessarily be class-specific and could potentially affect the label model's accuracy. Moreover, prediction made by the label model is often noisy in nature and can have a detrimental impact on the quality of images generated by GAN. In our work, we address these challenges by (i) implementing a noise-aware classifier using the pseudo labels generated by the label model (ii) utilizing the noise-aware classifier's prediction to train the label model and generate class-conditional images. Additionally, we also investigate the effect of training the classifier with a subset of the dataset within a defined uncertainty budget on pseudo labels. We accomplish this by formalizing the subset selection problem as a submodular maximization objective with a knapsack constraint on the entropy of pseudo labels. We conduct experiments on multiple datasets and demonstrate the efficacy of our methods on several tasks vis-a-vis the current state-of-the-art methods.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.10366v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.10366v1.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":"fusing-conditional-submodular-gan-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/kyrs/subpws-gan","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"feedforward-network","method_name":"Feedforward Network"},{"method_slug":"infogan","method_name":"InfoGAN"},{"method_slug":"relu","method_name":"ReLU"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2312.10366","mcp":{"get_harvested_code_for_paper":{"arxiv_id":"2312.10366"}},"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers","read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","read_at_is":"when the build read Syntology's graph, not when any sample ran","claim":"Per-sample execution status on synthesized fixtures; not a correctness claim about the paper.
