TRAINING A NEURAL NETWORK USING A DATA SET WITH LABELS OF MULTIPLE GRANULARITIES

This disclosure describes systems and methods for training a neural network with a training data set including data items labeled at different granularities. During training, each item within the training data set can be fed through the neural network. For items with labels of a higher granularity, weights of the network can be adjusted based on a comparison between the output of the network and the label of the item. For items with labels of a lower granularity, an output of the network can be fed through a conversion function that convers the output from the higher granularity to the lower granularity. The weights of the network can then be adjusted based on a comparison between the converted output and the label of the item.
