Multiview multi-instance multilabel learning (M3L) is a popular research topic during the past few years in modeling complex real-world objects such as medical images and subtitled video. However, existing M3L methods suffer from relatively low accuracy and training efficiency for large datasets due to several issues: 1) the viewwise intercorrelation (i.e., the correlations of instances and/or bags between different views) are neglected; 2) the diverse correlations (e.g., viewwise intercorrelation, interinstance correlation, and interlabel correlation) are not jointly considered; and 3) high computation burden for training process over bags, instances, and labels across different views. To resolve these issues, a novel framework called fast broad M3L (FBM3L) is proposed with three innovations: 1) utilization of viewwise intercorrelation for better modeling of M3L tasks while existing M3L methods have not considered; 2) based on graph convolutional network (GCN) and broad learning system (BLS), a viewwise subnetwork is newly designed to achieve joint learning among the diverse correlations; and 3) under BLS platform, FBM3L can learn multiple subnetworks jointly across all views with significantly less training time. Experiments show that FBM3L is highly competitive (or even better than) in all evaluation metrics up to 64% in average precision (AP) and much faster than most M3L (or MIML) methods (up to 1030 times), especially on large multiview datasets ( ≥ 260 K objects).
