Core Innovation
This paper presents Fractional Classification Loss (FCL), which learns the fractional derivative order of Cross-Entropy loss to adapt robustness dynamically during training. Unlike fixed robust loss functions, FCL balances noise resistance and convergence speed without manual tuning. This dynamic reshaping of the loss landscape improves classification accuracy on noisy datasets.

Research Paper Overview
Introducing Fractional Classification Loss for Robust Learning with Noisy Labels
Summary
This paper introduces Fractional Classification Loss (FCL), an adaptive robust loss function that automatically adjusts its robustness to label noise during training by learning the fractional derivative order of the Cross-Entropy loss. FCL balances robustness and convergence speed without manual hyperparameter tuning, improving classification performance on noisy datasets by dynamically reshaping the loss landscape.
