让只标注一个标签的数据,也能准确预测多个真实标签。

Least-Ambiguous Multi-Label Classifier

  • 用置信度校准方法生成可靠标签集合,无需假设标签分布。
  • 在12个数据集上均优于现有方法,提升多标签预测精度。
  • 适合标注成本高、只给单标签的场景,如医学图像分析。

多标签学习通常需要为训练样本标注所有相关标签,但完整标注代价高昂且耗时。许多数据集中每条样本仅标注一个正标签,尽管存在多个真实相关标签。这种设定称为单正标签多标签学习(SPMLL),因极端部分监督而极具挑战性。本文提出一种模型无关的方法,基于置信区间预测生成校准的集合输出,可在测试时实现可靠的多标签预测。该方法在不依赖标签分布假设的前提下,弥合了单标签训练与多标签评估之间的监督差距。我们在12个基准数据集上进行了评估,结果表明该方法持续优于现有基线,具备实际应用价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-label learning often requires identifying all relevant labels for training instances, but collecting full label annotations is costly and labor-intensive. In many datasets, only a single positive label is annotated per training instance, despite the presence of multiple relevant labels. This setting, known as single-positive multi-label learning (SPMLL), presents a significant challenge due to its extreme form of partial supervision. We propose a model-agnostic approach to SPMLL that draws on conformal prediction to produce calibrated set-valued outputs, enabling reliable multi-label predictions at test time. Our method bridges the supervision gap between single-label training and multi-label evaluation without relying on label distribution assumptions. We evaluate our approach on 12 benchmark datasets, demonstrating consistent improvements over existing baselines and practical applicability.
