用方向信息增强标签特征,提升模糊标签学习效果

From Distance to Direction: Structure-aware Label-specific Feature Fusion for Label Distribution Learning

  • 引入结构锚点捕捉标签间交互,融合距离与方向信息构建特征
  • 在15个真实数据集上优于LIFT及7种主流算法
  • 适合处理标签模糊、需细粒度分布预测的任务

标签分布学习(LDL)是一种新兴范式,用于捕捉每个样本对标签的相对重要性。基于聚类原型的标签特定特征(LSFs)通过重新表征实例,在处理标签模糊任务中表现有效。然而,直接将LIFT应用于LDL时,其原型主要反映簇内关系,忽视簇间交互。此外,仅依赖欧氏距离构建LSFs会引入噪声和偏差。为此,本文提出结构锚点(SAPs)以捕捉跨簇交互,并设计LIFT-SAP方法,融合实例相对于SAPs的距离与方向信息,构建更鲁棒的特征表示。进一步提出LDL-LIFT-SAP算法,统一多个LSF空间预测的标签描述程度,生成一致的标签分布。在15个真实数据集上的大量实验表明,LIFT-SAP优于LIFT,LDL-LIFT-SAP也显著优于七种现有主流算法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Label distribution learning (LDL) is an emerging learning paradigm designed to capture the relative importance of labels for each instance. Label-specific features (LSFs), constructed by LIFT, have proven effective for learning tasks with label ambiguity by leveraging clustering-based prototypes for each label to re-characterize instances. However, directly introducing LIFT into LDL tasks can be suboptimal, as the prototypes it collects primarily reflect intra-cluster relationships while neglecting cross-cluster interactions. Additionally, constructing LSFs using multi-perspective information, rather than relying solely on Euclidean distance, provides a more robust and comprehensive representation of instances, mitigating noise and bias that may arise from a single distance perspective. To address these limitations, we introduce Structural Anchor Points (SAPs) to capture inter-cluster interactions. This leads to a novel LSFs construction strategy, LIFT-SAP, which enhances LIFT by integrating both distance and directional information of each instance relative to SAPs. Furthermore, we propose a novel LDL algorithm, Label Distribution Learning via Label-specifIc FeaTure with SAPs (LDL-LIFT-SAP), which unifies multiple label description degrees predicted from different LSF spaces into a cohesive label distribution. Extensive experiments on 15 real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of LIFT-SAP over LIFT, as well as the superiority of LDL-LIFT-SAP compared to seven other well-established algorithms.
