Weakly Supervised Image Classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Weakly Supervised Image Classification

Weakly supervised image classification trains convolutional or transformer-based networks using only coarse, incomplete, or noisy supervision — such as image-level category labels, hashtags, or web-scraped tags — without requiring precise bounding boxes or pixel annotations. This dramatically reduces labeling cost while still enabling high-accuracy visual recognition at scale.
