Partial AUC Maximization from Positive-unlabeled Data

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.00284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The partial area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (pAUC) is an important performance metric for binary classification that summarizes true positive rates within a specific range of false positive rates (FPRs). Classifiers that achieve high pAUC need to be obtained in many real-world applications such as cybersecurity, medical care, and advertising. Although many methods for maximizing the pAUC have been proposed, they typically req
