A set of machine learning tools and algorithms for learning from positive and unlabeled datasets.

This algorithm is based on Positive Samples are Completely Random Selected, and "a classifier trained on positive and unlabeled examples predicts probabilities that differ by only a constant factor from the true conditional probabilities of being positive."

Original Positive-Unlabeled learning algorithm; firstly proposed in

Modified Positive-Unlabeled learning algorithm; main idea is to gradually refine set of positive examples. Pseudo code was taken from:
