Rethinking Learning from Label Proportions via Moment Matching

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces LLP-MM, a method for learning from label proportions that uses moment matching based on the Poisson multinomial distribution. It addresses the limitation of prior approaches that assume i.i.d. instance-label pairs, showing that these methods underperform when this assumption is violated. Experiments on benchmark datasets with various bag construction strategies demonstrate that LLP-MM is both effective and computationally efficient.

How many labelers do you have? A closer look at gold-standard labels

The paper examines the common practice of aggregating multiple labels per instance into a single ‘true’ label for supervised learning. By creating a theoretical model, the authors show that using the full, non‑aggregated label information can make it easier to train well‑calibrated models, though the benefits depend on the specific problem. They predict when non‑aggregated labels will improve learning and validate these predictions on real datasets.
