Purposive Learning

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Associative Learning

Associative Learning

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Reinforcement

Reinforcement

Positive and negative reinforcement are key concepts in operant conditioning, a learning process where the consequences of a behavior affect the likelihood of that behavior being repeated.
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Labeling Emotion

Labeling Emotion

Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

Area of Science:

Machine Learning
Computer Vision

Background:

Positive and Unlabeled (PU) learning trains classifiers using only positive and unlabeled data.
Existing discriminative PU methods struggle with limited negative labels, hindering performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To improve PU learning by integrating generative operations with discriminative methods.
To address the challenge of insufficient supervisory information in PU learning.

Main Methods:

Proposes a novel algorithm, Discriminative-Generative Positive and Unlabeled Learning (DGPU).
Employs a tailored diffusion model for generating high-quality positive and negative examples.
Iteratively refines a classifier through data generation and discriminative annotation stages.

Main Results:

DGPU significantly outperforms existing PU methods on benchmark datasets.
Achieves performance comparable to fully supervised methods.
Improves test accuracy by 3.89% on CIFAR-10 and 2.56% on CelebA.

Conclusions:

The integration of diffusion models into PU learning offers a synergistic benefit between generative and discriminative models.
DGPU represents a significant advancement in PU learning, offering near fully supervised performance.
