Robust Sparse Weighted Classification For Crowdsourcing

Abstract

Data collected from nature is usually unlabeled, and it is difficult to be used directly. This issue is well addressed by crowdsourcing, which provides a reasonable way for effectively using these unlabeled data. Generally, workers in crowdsourcing tasks are not professionals, so it is hard to obtain high-quality labels. To address this issue, a robust sparse weighted classification algorithm is proposed, which try to adjust the samples that are not correctly classified in the original lables as much as possible. Specifically, we evalute the ability of different workers(indicator weight matrix) to accurately label different samples by fitting the real data matrix to its weighted reconstruction matrix. And then, l 2,1 -norm and worker labeling ability similarity matrix are added, and negative effects of some bad workers are eliminated through the row sparsity property of l 2,1 -norm. Finally, the optimal indicator weight matrix is obtained by optimizing the two matrices in the objective function simultaneously. Therefore, the obtained optimal indicator weight matrix takes the similarity of worker labeling ability into consideration, and infers all the predicted labels. The results on synthetic and real data sets demonstrate that our algorithm is superior to other state-of-the-art methods.

Multi-modal feature selection with anchor graph for Alzheimer's disease

“…At present, most researchers use classification (Yu et al, 2022 ), regression, and clustering techniques to predict Alzheimer's disease data (Zhang et al, 2022b ). But this ignores the problems caused by the high-dimensional features and redundant features in the data.…”

Path-Wise Attention Memory Network for Visual Question Answering

“…Both fields have made significant progress toward their goals and have gradually been driven to mutual convergence by the explosion of visual and textual data and the requirements of complex real-world tasks. At present, multi-modal learning has bridged the gap between visual and language and has been widely concerned [1][2][3][4][5]. Remarkable progress has been made in many multi-modal learning tasks, e.g., image captioning [6][7][8][9], video captioning [10][11][12], cross-modal retrieval [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and visual question answering(VQA) [7,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
