Abstract:
|
In many situations, one can obtain only noisy labels for the data. For example, in systems such as Amazon Mechanical Turk or in diagnostic tests which are cheaper but less accurate than a given golden standard. Recently, several models have been proposed to predict future labels in this situation. However, techniques of model selection such as empirical risk minimization cannot be used since the real labels are never observed. We propose a method which can be applied to noisy labels and provide some theoretical guarantees on it. We also introduce sparsity in a class of models and show its importance in real examples. We use our model selection tool for choosing the tuning parameter that induces sparsity. Finally, this methodology is compared to others through several sets of simulated and real data.
