Calibratable Disambiguation Loss for Multi-Instance Partial-Label Learning

  • 通过候选标签与竞争标签的预测差距动态调整损失,实现更精准的标签区分。
  • 在多个基准和真实数据集上,分类准确率和校准误差均显著优于现有方法。
  • 适用于需要高可靠性的弱监督场景,如医疗影像分析、文本分类等。

多实例部分标签学习(MIPL)是一种弱监督框架,结合了多实例学习(MIL)和部分标签学习(PLL)的思想,以应对实例空间和标签空间中不精确标注的挑战。然而,现有方法普遍存在校准性差的问题,影响分类器可靠性。本文提出一种即插即用的可校准消歧损失(CDL),通过顶部候选标签与竞争标签间的预测差距调节消歧目标。竞争标签可为第二强候选标签或最强非候选标签,分别强调候选内部分离与候选-非候选抑制。理论上,我们将CDL分析为基于动量的边缘调制消歧损失(MDL),推导出校准下界与伪标签置信度对齐界,并揭示边缘设计如何影响权重更新。在基准和真实世界MIPL数据集上的实验,以及代表性PLL适配结果表明,所提方法显著提升了分类精度与期望校准误差。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-instance partial-label learning (MIPL) is a weakly supervised framework that extends the principles of multi-instance learning (MIL) and partial-label learning (PLL) to address the challenges of inexact supervision in both instance and label spaces. However, existing MIPL approaches often suffer from poor calibration, undermining classifier reliability. In this work, we propose a plug-and-play calibratable disambiguation loss (CDL) for classification and calibration, which modulates a disambiguation objective by a top-vs-competitor prediction margin. The competitor is instantiated either as the second strongest candidate label or as the strongest non-candidate label, yielding two variants that respectively emphasize candidate-level separation and candidate-vs-non-candidate suppression. Theoretically, we analyze CDL as a margin-modulated momentum-based disambiguation loss (MDL) objective, derive a lower-bound and a pseudo-label confidence-alignment bound for calibration, and show through gradient and momentum analyses how margin shaping affects weight updates. Experimental results on benchmark and real-world MIPL datasets, together with representative PLL adaptation, confirm that our CDL significantly improves both classification accuracy and expected calibration error.
