Highlight

• Accepted at CVPR 2021.
• 🏆 SOTA on 4 benchmarks. Check out Papers With Code for Image Clustering or Unsup. Classification.

1. RUC is an add-on module to enhance the performance of any off-the-shelf unsupervised learning algorithms. RUC is inspired by robust learning. It first divides clustered data points into clean and noisy set, then refine the clustering results. With RUC, state-of-the-art unsupervised clustering methods; SCAN and TSUC showed showed huge performance improvements. (STL-10 : 86.7%, CIFAR-10 : 90.3%, CIFAR-20 : 54.3%, CIFAR-100 : 36.5 %, ImageNet-50 : 78.5)

2. Prediction results of existing unsupervised learning algorithms were overconfident. RUC can make the prediction of existing algorithms softer with better calibration.

3. Robust to adversarially crafted samples. ERM-based unsupervised clustering algorithms can be prone to adversarial attack. Adding RUC to the clustering models improves robustness against adversarial noise.
