    Abstract

    The problem of PU Learning, i.e., learning classifiers with positive and unlabelled examples (but not negative examples), is very important in information retrieval and data mining. We address this problem through a novel approach: reducing it to the problem of learning classifiers for some meaningful multivariate performance measures. In particular, we show how a powerful machine learning algorithm, support vector machine, can be adapted to solve this problem. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach have been confirmed by our experiments on three real-world datasets.
