Preface

Multiple instance learning (MIL) is a recent learning framework that has become very popular lately. In this framework, objects are represented as sets of feature vectors (or bags, in MIL terminology). This kind of representation is well suited for certain problems, such as the prediction of structure–activity relationships, image classification, document categorization or the prediction of protein binding sites. In fact, MIL provides a much more natural representation than the one used in classical machine learning, where a single feature vect
