Abstract

A novel relative minimum distance is introduced that allows improving the dissimilarity-based multiple instance classification. To this end, we apply a previously proposed mapping that brings closer, at least, a single instance from each positive training bag, while the negative-bags instances are driven apart. Our results show an increased classification performance on a broad type of real-world datasets.

Notes

  1. 1.

    As indicated in [4], the complexity to estimate \(\varDelta {\varvec{G}}_k\), that is \(\mathcal {O}(M(M+n)n)\), where M is the total number of instances in the training set and n is the dimension, can be reduced to \(\mathcal {O}(M(M+n)n')\), by applying dimension reduction, such that \(n'<n\).
