Learning with Proper Partial Labels
Partial-label learning is a kind of weakly-supervised learning with inexact labels, where for each training example, we are given a set of candidate labels instead of only one true label. Recently, various approaches on partial-label learning have been proposed under different generation models of candidate label sets. However, these methods require relatively strong distributional assumptions on the generation models. When the assumptions do not hold, the performance of the methods is not guaranteed theoretically. In this paper, we propose the notion of properness on partial labels. We show that this proper partial-label learning framework requires a weaker distributional assumption and includes many previous partial-label learning settings as special cases. We then derive a unified unbiased estimator of the classification risk. We prove that our estimator is risk-consistent, and we also establish an estimation error bound. Finally, we validate the effectiveness of our algorithm through experiments.

Proper losses for learning from partial labels
This paper discusses the problem of calibrating posterior class probabilities from partially labelled data. Each instance is assumed to be labelled as belonging to one of several candidate categories, at most one of them…
Leveraged Weighted Loss for Partial Label Learning
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 stud…

Large-scale multi-label classification datasets are commonly, and perhaps inevitably, partially annotated. That is, only a small subset of labels are annotated per sample. Different methods for handling the missing label…

We propose a new approach to address the text classification problems when learning with partial labels is beneficial. Instead of offering each training sample a set of candidate labels, we assign negative-oriented label…
