Graph based Label Enhancement for Multi-instance Multi-label learning

Multi-instance multi-label (MIML) learning is widely applicated in numerous domains, such as the image classification where one image contains multiple instances correlated with multiple logic labels simultaneously. The related labels in existing MIML are all assumed as logical labels with equal significance. However, in practical applications in MIML, significance of each label for multiple instances per bag (such as an image) is significant different. Ignoring labeling significance will greatly lose the semantic information of the object, so that MIML is not applicable in complex scenes with a poor learning performance. To this end, this paper proposed a novel MIML framework based on graph label enhancement, namely GLEMIML, to improve the classification performance of MIML by leveraging label significance. GLEMIML first recognizes the correlations among instances by establishing the graph and then migrates the implicit information mined from the feature space to the label space via nonlinear mapping, thus recovering the label significance. Finally, GLEMIML is trained on the enhanced data through matching and interaction mechanisms. GLEMIML (AvgRank: 1.44) can effectively improve the performance of MIML by mining the label distribution mechanism and show better results than the SOTA method (AvgRank: 2.92) on multiple benchmark datasets.Comment: 7 pages,2 figure
