สรุป	A Weakly Supervised Variational Autoencoder (WS-VAE) extends the standard VAE generative framework by incorporating partial, noisy, or coarse supervision signals — such as crowd-sourced labels, heuristic rules, or programmatic annotations — to guide latent space learning without requiring fully annotated data. It is widely applied in computer vision, NLP, and biomedical domains where complete ground-truth labels are expensive or unavailable.	Semi-supervised learning (SSL) is a machine learning paradigm that trains models using a small set of labeled examples together with a much larger pool of unlabeled data. By leveraging the structure inherent in unlabeled data, SSL achieves accuracy closer to fully supervised models while requiring far fewer costly manual labels — making it practical when labeling is expensive, slow, or resource-constrained.
