Learning Graph Features For Colored Mesh Visual Quality Assessment

in learning from label proportions (LLP), the instances are grouped into bags, and the task is to learn an instance classifier given relative class proportions in training bags. LLP is useful when obtaining individual instance labels is impossible or costly. in this work, we focus on the case of small bags, which allows to design an algorithm that explicitly considers all consistent instance label combinations. in particular, we propose an EM algorithm alternating between optimizing a general neural network instance classifier and incorporating bag-level annotations. Using two different image datasets, we experimentally compare this method with an approach based on normal approximation and two existing LLP methods. The results show that our approach converges faster to a comparable or better solution.
