• Abstract: Label distribution learning (LDL) is an effective method to predict the relative label description degree (a.k.a. label distribution) of a sample. However, the label distribution is not a complete representation of an instance because it overlooks the absolute intensity of each label. Specifically, it's impossible to obtain the total description degree of hidden labels that not in the label space, which leads to the loss of information and confusion in instances. To solve the above problem, we come up with a new concept named background concentration to serve as the absolute description degree term of the label distribution and introduce it into the LDL process, forming the improved paradigm of concentration distribution learning. Moreover, we propose a novel model by probabilistic methods and neural networks to learn label distributions and background concentrations from existing LDL datasets. Extensive experiments prove that the proposed approach is able to extract background concentrations from label distributions while producing more accurate prediction results than the state-of-the-art LDL methods. The code is available in https://github.com/seutjw/CDL-LD.

  Label distribution learning (LDL) is an effective method to predict the label description degree (a.k.a. label distribution) of a sample. But annotating label distribution for training samples is extremely costly. We propose a novel method to learn an LDL model directly from the logical label, which unifies LE and LDL into a joint model.

  Partial label learning is a typical weakly supervised learning problem. Most existing approaches assume that the incorrect labels in each training example are randomly picked as the candidate labels. In this paper, we consider instance-dependent and assume that each example is associated with a latent label distribution constituted by the real number of each label.
