Learning from Label Proportions with Dual-proportion Constraints
Learning from Label Proportions (LLP) is a weakly supervised problem in which the training data comprise bags, that is, groups of instances, each annotated only with bag-level class label proportions, and the objective is to learn a classifier that predicts instance-level labels. This setting is widely applicable when privacy constraints limit access to instance-level annotations or when fine-grained labeling is costly or impractical. In this work, we introduce a method that leverages Dual proportion Constraints (LLP-DC) during training, enforcing them at both the bag and instance levels. Specifically, the bag-level training aligns the mean prediction with the given proportion, and the instance-level training aligns hard pseudo-labels that satisfy the proportion constraint, where a minimum-cost maximum-flow algorithm is used to generate hard pseudo-labels. Extensive experimental results across various benchmark datasets empirically validate that LLP-DC consistently improves over previous LLP methods across datasets and bag sizes.
