Abstract
We propose a novel multiple-instance learning (MIL) algorithm for designing classifiers for use in computer aided detection (CAD). The proposed algorithm has 3 advantages over classical methods. First, unlike traditional learning algorithms that minimize the candidate level misclassification error, the proposed algorithm directly optimizes the patient-wise sensitivity. Second, this algorithm automatically selects a small subset of statistically useful features. Third, this algorithm is very fast, utilizes all of the available training data (without the need for cross-validation etc.), and requires no human hand tuning or intervention. Experimentally the algorithm is more accurate than state of the art support vector machine (SVM) classifier, and substantially reduces the number of features that have to be computed.
