Weakly Supervised LSTM

Weakly supervised LSTM trains a Long Short-Term Memory network on sequence data where clean, manually annotated labels are scarce or absent. Instead, multiple imperfect label sources — heuristic rules, distant supervision, crowdsourcing, or programmatic labeling functions — are combined to produce probabilistic training labels, which are then used to supervise the LSTM. This allows scalable training on large unlabeled corpora without exhaustive human annotation.
