mildsvm: Multiple-Instance Learning with Support Vector Machines
Weakly supervised (WS), multiple instance (MI) data lives in
numerous interesting applications such as drug discovery, object
detection, and tumor prediction on whole slide images. The 'mildsvm'
package provides an easy way to learn from this data by training
Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based classifiers. It also contains
helpful functions for building and printing multiple instance data
frames. The core methods from 'mildsvm' come from the following

Many functions use the 'Gurobi' optimization back-end to improve the
optimization problem speed; the 'gurobi' R package and associated
