Gaussian Processes Multiple Instance Learning

چکیده
This paper proposes a multiple instance learning (MIL) algorithm for Gaussian processes (GP). The GP-MIL model inherits two crucial benefits from GP: (i) a principle manner of learning kernel parameters, and (ii) a probabilistic interpretation (e.g., variance in prediction) that is informative for better understanding of the MIL prediction problem. The bag labeling protocol of the MIL problem, namely the existence of a positive instance in a bag, can be effectively represented by a sigmoid likelihood model through the max function over GP latent variables. To circumvent the intractability of exact GP inference and learning incurred by the noncontinuous max function, we suggest two approximations: first, the soft-max approximation; second, the use of witness indicator variables optimized with a deterministic annealing schedule. The effectiveness of GPMIL against other state-of-the-art MIL approaches is demonstrated on several benchmark MIL datasets.

Multiple Kernel Learning and Automatic Subspace Relevance Determination for High-dimensional Neuroimaging Data
Alzheimer’s disease is a major cause of dementia. Its diagnosis requires accurate biomarkers that are sensitive to disease stages. In this respect, we regard probabilistic classification as a method of designing a probabilistic biomarker for disease staging. Probabilistic biomarkers naturally support the interpretation of decisions and evaluation of uncertainty associated with them. In this pap...
متن کاملEmpowering Multiple Instance Histopathology Cancer Diagnosis by Cell Graphs
We introduce a probabilistic classifier that combines multiple instance learning and relational learning. While multiple instance learning allows automated cancer diagnosis from only image-level annotations, relational learning allows exploiting changes in cell formations due to cancer. Our method extends Gaussian process multiple instance learning with a relational likelihood that brings impro...

متن کاملExtensions of Gaussian Processes for Ranking: Semi-supervised and Active Learning
Unlabelled examples in supervised learning tasks can be optimally exploited using semi-supervised methods and active learning. We focus on ranking learning from pairwise instance preference to discuss these important extensions, semi-supervised learning and active learning, in the probabilistic framework of Gaussian processes. Numerical experiments demonstrate the capacities of these techniques.
