Safe incomplete label distribution learning

作者:

Highlights:

• We have proposed a novel method approach, i.e., SILDL, for safe label distribution learning.

• We have used the squared loss in objective function which could be formulated as a simple convex quadratic program and could be easily solved.

• We have defined an equivalent formulation to find out the best result from multiple baseline methods, and we have integrated multiple incomplete supervised learners to maximize the worst-case performance gain against the best baseline method.

• We have proved that the SILDL approach is provably safe with mild conditions.
