Deep k-NN for Noisy Labels
Authors: Dara Bahri, Heinrich Jiang, Maya Gupta
Abstract: Modern machine learning models are often trained on examples with noisy labels that hurt performance and are hard to identify. In this paper, we provide an empirical study showing that a simple $k$-nearest neighbor-based filtering approach on the logit layer of a preliminary model can  remove mislabeled training data and produce more accurate models than some recently proposed methods. We also provide new statistical guarantees into its efficacy.
