## Abstract

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation needs rich and robust supervision on unlabeled data. Consistency learning enforces the same pixel to have similar features in different augmented views, which is a robust signal but neglects relationships with other pixels. In comparison, contrastive learning considers rich pairwise relationships, but it can be a conundrum to assign binary positive-negative supervision signals for pixel pairs. In this paper, we take the best of both worlds and propose multi-view correlation consistency (MVCC) learning: it considers rich pairwise relationships in self-correlation matrices and matches them across views to provide robust supervision. Together with this correlation consistency loss, we propose a view-coherent data augmentation strategy that guarantees pixel-pixel correspondence between different views. In a series of semi-supervised settings on two datasets, we report competitive accuracy compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Notably, on Cityscapes, we achieve 76.8% mIoU with 1/8 labeled data, just 0.6% shy from the fully supervised oracle.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
