Two Types of Supervision

• Single Instance Learning (SIL):– the traditional type of supervision in machine learning.– a dataset of positive and negative training instances.

• Multiple Instance Learning (MIL):– a dataset of positive and negative training bags of instances.

– a bag is positive if at least one instance in the bag is positive.

– a bag is negative if all instances in the bag are negative.

– the bag instance labels are hidden.

Inequality Constraints for Positive Bags

• sMIL is closer than NSK at expressing the constraint that at least one instance from a positive bag is positive.

• However, sMIL does not guarantee that at least one instance is positive– Problem: constraint may be satisfied when all instances have

negative scores that are very close to zero.

– Solution: force all negative instances to have scores –1 + X using the transductive constraint:

32

Page 33: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

A Balanced SVM Approach to MIL

• SIL ideal when bags are dense in positive instances.

• sMIL ideal when bags are sparse in positive instances.

• If expected density of positive instances is known, design a method that:– converges to SIL when 1.

– converges to sMIL when 0.

• If is unknown, can set it using cross-validation.

33

Page 34: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

The Balanced MIL (sbMIL)

• Input:– Training negative bags Xn, define Xn {x | x X Xn}.– Training positive bags Xp, define Xp {x | x X Xp}– Features (x), or kernel K(x,y).– Capacity parameter C 0 and balance parameter [0,1].

• Output:– Decision function f(x) w(x)+b.

34

the top |Xp| as positive. the rest (1–) |Xp| as negative.

Page 36: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

Experimental Results: Datasets

• [AIMed] An artificial, maximally sparse dataset:– Created from AIMed [Bunescu et al., 2005]:

• A dataset of documents annotated for protein interactions;• A sentence example contains a pair of proteins – the sentence is

positive iff it asserts an interaction between the two proteins;– Create positive bags of sentences:

• choose bag size randomly between Smin and Smax.• start with exactly one positive instance, • randomly add negative instances.

– Create negative bags of sentences:• choose bag size randomly between Smin and Smax.• randomly add negative instances.

• Use subsequence kernel from [Bunescu & Mooney, 2005].

36

Page 37: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

Experimental Results: Datasets

• [CBIR] Content Based Image Retrieval:– categorize images as to whether they contain an object of interest.– an image is a bag of image regions.– the number of regions varies widely between images.– for every image, expect that relatively few regions contain object of

interest naturally sparse positive bags.– Evaluate on [Tiger], [Elephant], [Fox] datasets from [Andrews et

al., 2003].

• Use a quadratic kernel with the original feature vectors.

37

Page 38: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

Experimental Results: Datasets

• [TST] Text categorization datasets:– Medline articles are bags of overlapping text passages.– Articles are annotated with Mesh terms – use them as classes.– Use [TST1] and [TST2] from [Andrews et al., 2003].

• [MUSK] Drug Activity prediction:– Bags of 3D low energy conformations for every molecule.– A bag is positive is at least one conformation binds to target.– [MUSK1] and MUSK2] datasets from [Dietterich et al., 1997]– A bag is positive if the molecule smells “musky”.

• Use a quadratic kernel with the original feature vectors.38

Page 43: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

Future Work

• Capture distribution imbalance in the MIL model:– instances belonging to the same bag are, in general, more similar

than instances belonging to different bags.

• Incorporate estimates of bag-level densitiy in the MIL model:– in some applications, estimates of density of positive instances

are available for every bag.

43

Page 44: Multiple Instance Learning for Sparse Positive Bags

Conclusion

• Proposed an SVM approach to MIL that is particularly effective when bags are sparse in positive instances.

• Modeling a global density of positive instancs in positive bags further improves the accuracy.

• Treating instances from positive bags as unlabeled data in a transductive setting is useful when negative instances in positive and negative bags come from the same distribution.
