SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXPERT GUIDED SEMI-SUPERVISION WITH CONTRASTIVE LOSS FOR MACHINE LEARNING MODELS

A method includes, in response to at least one convergence criterion not being met: receiving a labeled dataset that includes a plurality of labeled samples; receiving an unlabeled dataset that includes a plurality of unlabeled samples; identifying a plurality of labeled-unlabeled sample pairs; applying a data augmentation transformation to each labeled sample and each corresponding unlabeled sample; computing, for each least one labeled-unlabeled sample pair, latent representation spaces using the machine learning model; generating, using the machine learning model, a label prediction for each unlabeled sample for each labeled-unlabeled sample pair; computing a loss function for each labeled-unlabeled sample pair of the plurality of labeled-unlabeled sample pairs based on respective latency representation spaces and respective label predictions; applying an optimization function to each respective loss function; and updating a weight value for each labeled-unlabeled sample pair of the plurality of labeled-unlabeled sample pairs responsive to applying the optimization function.
