In this paper we present a bottom-up method to instance-level Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) that learns to discover positive instances with globally constrained reasoning about local pairwise similarities. We discover positive instances by optimizing for a ranking such that positive (top rank) instances are highly and consistently similar to each other and dissimilar to negative instances. Our approach takes advantage of a discriminative notion of pairwise similarity coupled with a…

Sparse multiple instance learning as document classification

The proposed methods achieve significantly higher accuracies and AUC than the state-of-the-art in a large number of sparse MIL problems, and the document classification analogy explains their efficacy in sparse Mil problems.

Modeling and Optimization of Classifiers with Latent Variables

A new optimization framework, called Generalized MajorizationMinimization (G-MM), is introduced that extends existing approaches to non-convex optimization such as Expectation Maximization and Concave Convex Procedure (CCCP), and does not require bounds to be tight, making it very flexible.

Generalized Majorization-Minimization

This work derives G-MM algorithms for several latent variable models and shows empirically that they consistently outperform their MM counterparts in optimizing non-convex objectives, and appears to be less sensitive to initialization.

Aligning Sentences from Standard Wikipedia to Simple Wikipedia

This work improves monolingual sentence alignment for text simplification, specifically for text in standard and simple Wikipedia by using a greedy search over the document and a word-level semantic similarity score based on Wiktionary that also accounts for structural similarity through syntactic dependencies.

SMILE: A Similarity-Based Approach for Multiple Instance Learning

A novel MIL method named SMILE (Similarity-based Multiple Instance LEarning), which introduces a similarity weight to each instance in positive bag, which represents the instance similarity towards the positive and negative classes.

Instance-level Semisupervised Multiple Instance Learning

This paper proposes a new graph-based semi-supervised learning approach for multiple instance learning by defining an instance-level graph on the data, and empirically shows that this method outperforms state-of-the-art MIL algorithms on several real-world data sets.

MILES: Multiple-Instance Learning via Embedded Instance Selection

This work proposes a learning method, MILES (multiple-instance learning via embedded instance selection), which converts the multiple- instance learning problem to a standard supervised learning problem that does not impose the assumption relating instance labels to bag labels.

Experimental results verify that encoding or learning the degree of ambiguity can improve classification performance and a discriminative max-margin learning algorithm leveraging efficient inference for cardinality-based cliques is proposed.

Convex Multiple-Instance Learning by Estimating Likelihood Ratio

An approach to multiple-instance learning is proposed that reformulates the problem as a convex optimization on the likelihood ratio between the positive and the negative class for each training instance, and shows that likelihood ratio estimation is generally a good surrogate for the 0-1 loss.
