An EM-Approach for Clustering Multi-Instance Objects

Abstract: Abstract. In many data mining applications the data objects are modeled as sets of feature vectors or multi-instance objects. In this paper, we present an expectation maximization approach for clustering multiinstance objects. We therefore present a statistical process that models multi-instance objects. Furthermore, we present M-steps and E-steps for EM clustering and a method for finding a good initial model. In our experimental evaluation, we demonstrate that the new EM algorithm is capable to increase the … Show more

“…Other interesting learning scenarios using MI representations include MI clustering (Zhang & Zhou, 2009;Kriegel et al, 2006), learning instance-level classifiers from bags labeled with a percentage of positive instances (Ku¨ck & de Freitas, 2005), and predicting the salience of instances in an MI regression setting (Wagstaff & Lane, 2007). None of these scenarios involves bag-level predictions, however, so we do not consider them in this paper.…”

“…However, to the best of our knowledge none of these methods deals with MI objects and the question of how to derive CAs from a set of MI objects. In [7], a method to derive MI clusters based on EM clustering was proposed. The method clusters the instances using ordinary EM clustering and afterwards uses a multinomial process to group MI objects.…”
