A multi-instance multi-label learning algorithm based on radial basis functions and multi-objective particle swarm optimization.

Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks for Multi-Instance Multi-Label (MIML) directly can exploit the connections between instances and labels so that they can preserve useful prior information, but they only adopt Gaussian radial basis function as their RBF whose parameters are difficult to determine. In this paper, parameters can be obtained by multi-objective optimization methods with multi performance measures treated as objectives, specifically, parameter estimation of different RBFs by an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is proposed where Recall rate and Precision rate are chosen to obtain the most desirable Pareto optimal solution set. Furthermore, share-learning factor is proposed to modify the particle velocity in standard MOPSO to improve the global search ability and group cooperative ability. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed method can estimate the reliable parameters of different RBFs, and it is also very competitive with the state of art MIML methods.
