"MULTI-LABEL HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION"
Perhaps the most common machine-learning task is induction of
classifiers from pre-classified training examples described by vectors
or attribute values. The classifier's task is then to label a future
object with the (single) class it belongs to. In many realistic
domains, however, such object belongs to several classes at the same
time; moreover there can be thousands of different classes, and they
are often inter-related in ways captured by generalization trees or DAG
graphs. What we need, then, is a Multi-Label Hierarchical Classifier.
This, however, brings about certain difficulties that need to be
understood.
The talk discusses the problem of performance evaluation in
domains of this kind, and then describes a novel system based on the
now-popular support-vector machines. Experiments with real-world
domains from the field of gene-function prediction then illustrate
diverse aspects of this tool.
