• Abstract summary: In learning from label proportions (LLP), the instances are grouped into bags, and the task is to learn an instance classifier given relative class proportions in training bags. In this work, we focus on the case of small bags, which allows designing more efficient algorithms by explicitly considering all consistent label combinations.

• Abstract: In learning from label proportions (LLP), the instances are grouped into bags, and the task is to learn an instance classifier given relative class proportions in training bags. LLP is useful when obtaining individual instance labels is impossible or costly. In this work, we focus on the case of small bags, which allows designing more efficient algorithms by explicitly considering all consistent label combinations. In particular, we propose an EM algorithm alternating between optimizing a general neural network instance classifier and incorporating bag-level annotations. In comparison to existing deep LLP methods, our approach converges faster to a comparable or better solution. Several experiments were performed on two different datasets.

  Learning from label proportions (LLP) is a generalization of supervised learning. We show that it is possible to efficiently learn LTFs using LTFs when given access to random bags of some label proportion. We include an experimental evaluation of our learning algorithms along with a comparison with those of [Saket'21, Saket'22] and random LTFs.

  Learning from Label Proportions (LLP) is a learning problem where only aggregate level labels are available for groups of instances, called bags, during training. This setting arises in domains like advertising and medicine due to privacy considerations. We propose a novel algorithmic framework for this problem that iteratively performs two main steps.

  3D semantic scene understanding tasks have achieved great success with the emergence of deep learning, but often require a huge amount of manually annotated training data. We propose the first weakly-supervised 3D instance segmentation method that only requires categorical semantic labels as supervision. By generating pseudo instance labels from categorical semantic labels, our designed approach can also assist existing methods for learning 3D instance segmentation at reduced annotation cost.

  In many real-world tasks, the concerned objects can be represented as a multi-instance bag associated with a candidate label set. Existing MIPL approach follows the instance-space paradigm by assigning augmented candidate label sets of bags to each instance and aggregating bag-level labels from instance-level labels. We propose an intuitive algorithm named DEMIPL, i.e., Disambiguated attention Embedding for Multi-Instance Partial-Label learning.

  In some real-world tasks, each training sample is associated with a candidate label set that contains one ground-truth label and some false positive labels. In this paper, we formalize such problems as multi-instance partial-label learning (MIPL) Existing multi-instance learning algorithms and partial-label learning algorithms are suboptimal for solving MIPL problems.
