Partial Label Learning (PLL) aims to train a classifier when each training instance is associated with a set of candidate labels, among which only one is correct but is not accessible during the training phase. The common strategy dealing with such ambiguous labeling information is to disambiguate the candidate label sets. Nonetheless, existing methods ignore the disambiguation difficulty of instances and adopt the single-trend training mechanism. The former would lead to the vulnerability of models to the false positive labels and the latter may arouse error accumulation problem. To remedy these two drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel approach termed Network Cooperation with Progressive Disambiguation (NCPD) for PLL. Specifically, we devise a progressive disambiguation strategy of which the disambiguation operations are performed on simple instances firstly and then gradually on more complicated ones. Therefore, the negative impacts brought by the false positive labels of complicated instances can be effectively mitigated as the disambiguation ability of the model has been strengthened via learning from the simple instances. Moreover, by employing artificial neural networks as the backbone, we utilize a network cooperation mechanism which trains two networks collaboratively by letting them interact with each other. As two networks have different disambiguation ability, such interaction is beneficial for both networks to reduce their respective disambiguation errors, and thus is much better than the existing algorithms with single-trend training process. Extensive experimental results on various benchmark and practical datasets demonstrate the superiority of our NCPD to other state-of-the-art PLL methods.
Partial-label learning (PLL) is a typical weakly supervised learning problem, where each training instance is equipped with a set of candidate labels among which only one is the true label. Most existing methods elaborately designed learning objectiv
Partial multi-label learning (PML) models the scenario where each training instance is annotated with a set of candidate labels, and only some of the labels are relevant. The PML problem is practical in real-world scenarios, as it is difficult and ev
Label noise is frequently observed in real-world large-scale datasets. The noise is introduced due to a variety of reasons; it is heterogeneous and feature-dependent. Most existing approaches to handling noisy labels fall into two categories: they ei
As an important branch of weakly supervised learning, partial label learning deals with data where each instance is assigned with a set of candidate labels, whereas only one of them is true. Despite many methodology studies on learning from partial l
Partial-label learning (PLL) is a multi-class classification problem, where each training example is associated with a set of candidate labels. Even though many practical PLL methods have been proposed in the last two decades, there lacks a theoretic
