SUMMARY It has been demonstrated that large-scale labeled datasets facilitate the success of machine learning. However, collecting labeled data is often very costly and error-prone in practice. To cope with this problem, previous studies have considered the use of a complementary label, which specifies a class that an instance does not belong to and can be collected more easily than ordinary labels. However, complementary labels could also be error-prone and thus mitigating the influence of label noise is an important challenge to make complementary-label learning more useful in practice. In this paper, we derive conditions for the loss function such that the learning algorithm is not a ff ected by noise in complementary labels. Experiments on benchmark datasets with noisy complementary labels demonstrate that the loss functions that satisfy our conditions significantly improve the classification performance.
