Learning from positive and unlabeled data: a survey
Learning from positive and unlabeled data or PU learning is the setting where a learner only has access to positive examples and unlabeled data. The assumption is that the unlabeled data can contain both positive and negative examples. This setting has attracted increasing interest within the machine learning literature as this type of data naturally arises in applications such as medical diagnosis and knowledge base completion. This article provides a survey of the current state of the art in PU learning. It proposes seven key research questions that commonly arise in this field and provides a broad overview of how the field has tried to address them.

Needles in the Landscape: Semi-Supervised Pseudolabeling for Archaeological Site Discovery under Label Scarcity
Archaeological predictive modelling estimates where undiscovered sites are likely to occur by combining known locations with environmental and geospatial variables, presenting a positive-unlabeled (PU) learning challenge…
Feature EngineeringLearning from Positive and Unlabeled Data with Arbitrary Positive Shift
Positive-unlabeled (PU) learning trains a binary classifier using only positive and unlabeled data. A common simplifying assumption is that the positive data is representative of the target positive class. This assumptio…
Positive Unlabeled Learning Selected Not At Random (PULSNAR): class proportion estimation when the SCAR assumption does not hold
Positive and Unlabeled (PU) learning is a type of semi-supervised binary classification where the machine learning algorithm differentiates between a set of positive instances (labeled) and a set of both positive and neg…
Binary ClassificationA Novel Perspective for Positive-Unlabeled Learning via Noisy Labels
Positive-unlabeled learning refers to the process of training a binary classifier using only positive and unlabeled data. Although unlabeled data can contain positive data, all unlabeled data are regarded as negative dat…
Positive unlabeled learning with tensor networks
Positive unlabeled learning is a binary classification problem with positive and unlabeled data. It is common in domains where negative labels are costly or impossible to obtain, e.g., medicine and personalized advertisi…
