Description
Résumé:The goal of multilabel classification is to reveal the underlying label correlations to boost the accuracy of classification tasks. Most of the existing multilabel classifiers attempt to exhaustively explore dependency between correlated labels. It increases the risk of involving unnecessary label dependencies, which are detrimental to classification performance. Actually, not all the label correlations are indispensable to multilabel model. Negligible or fragile label correlations cannot be generalized well to the testing data, especially if there exists label correlation discrepancy between training and testing sets. To minimize such negative effect in the multilabel model, we propose to learn a sparse structure of label dependency. The underlying philosophy is that as long as the multilabel dependency cannot be well explained, the principle of parsimony should be applied to the modeling process of the label correlations. The obtained sparse label dependency structure discards the outlying correlations between labels, which makes the learned model more generalizable to future samples. Experiments on real world data sets show the competitive results compared with existing algorithms
