Paper Proposes AUC Maximization from Biased Positive-Unlabeled Data with Confidence
A new arXiv paper addresses AUC maximization for imbalanced binary classification when reliable negative examples are unavailable. The authors tackle the realistic setting of biased positive-unlabeled data and incorporate confidence estimates into the learning procedure. This approach aims to improve ranking performance without requiring clean negative labels.
