Collaborative classification from noisy labels

Abstract: We consider a setting where users interact with a collection of N items on an online platform. We are given class labels possibly corrupted by noise, and we seek to recover the true class of each item. We postulate a simple probabilistic model of the interactions between users and items, based on the assumption that users interact with classes in different proportions. We then develop a message-passing algorithm that decodes the noisy class labels efficiently. Under suitable assumptions, our method provably recovers all items’ true classes in the large N limit, even when the interaction graph remains sparse. Empirically, we show that our approach is effective on several practical applications, including predicting the location of businesses, the category of consumer goods, and the language of audio content.
