TY - JOUR AU - D.T. Nguyen AU - C.D. Nguyen AU - R. Hargraves AU - L.A. Kurgan AU - Krzysztof Cios AB - Multiple-instance learning (MIL) is a supervised learning technique that addresses the problem of classifying bags of instances instead of single instances. In this paper, we introduce a rule-based MIL algorithms, called mi-DS, and compare it with 21 existing MIL algorithms on 26 commonly used data sets. The results show that mi-DS performs on par with or better than several well-known algorithms and generates models characterized by balanced values of precision and recall. Importantly, the introduced method provides a framework that can be used for converting other rule-based algorithms into MIL algorithms.
