Partial multilabel learning (PML) addresses the issue of noisy supervision, which contains an overcomplete set of candidate labels for each instance with only a valid subset of training data. Using label enhancement techniques, researchers have computed the probability of a label being ground truth. However, enhancing labels in the noisy label space makes it impossible for the existing partial multilabel label enhancement methods to achieve satisfactory results. Besides, few methods simultaneously involve the ambiguity problem, the feature space's redundancy, and the model's efficiency in PML. To address these issues, this article presents a novel joint partial multilabel framework using broad learning systems (namely BLS-PML) with three innovative mechanisms: 1) a trustworthy label space is reconstructed through a novel label enhancement method to avoid the bias caused by noisy labels; 2) a low-dimensional feature space is obtained by a confidence-based dimensionality reduction method to reduce the effect of redundancy in the feature space; and 3) a noise-tolerant BLS is proposed by adding a dimensionality reduction layer and a trustworthy label layer to deal with PML problem. We evaluated it on six real-world and seven synthetic datasets, using eight state-of-the-art partial multilabel algorithms as baselines and six evaluation metrics. Out of 144 experimental scenarios, our method significantly outperforms the baselines by about 80%, demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness in handling partial multilabel tasks.
