Multiple-instance learning (MIL) was initially proposed to identify key instances within a set (bag) of instances when only one bag-level label is provided. Current deep MIL models mostly solve multi-instance problem in feature space. Nevertheless, with the increasing complexity of data, we found this paradigm faces significant risks in representation learning stage, which could lead to algorithm degradation in deep MIL models. We speculate that the degradation issue stems from the persistent drift of instances in feature space during learning. In this paper, we propose a novel Probability-Space MIL network (PSMIL) as a countermeasure. In PSMIL, a self-training alignment strategy is introduced in probability space to cope with the drift problem in feature space, and the alignment target objective is proven mathematically optimal. Furthermore, we reveal that the widely-used attention-based pooling mechanism in current deep MIL models is easily affected by the perturbation in feature space and further introduce an alternative called probability-space attention pooling. It effectively captures the key instance in each bag from feature space to probability space, and further eliminates the impact of selection drift in the pooling stage. To summarize, PSMIL seeks to solve a MIL problem in probability space rather than feature space. Experimental results illustrate that PSMIL could potentially achieve performance close to supervised learning level in complex tasks (gap within 5\%), with the incremental alignment in propability space bring more than 19\% accuracy improvements for current existing mainstream models in simulated CIFAR datasets. For existing publicly available MIL benchmarks/datasets, attention in probability space also achieves competitive performance to the state-of-the-art deep MIL models.
