Much attention has been paid to the research of multi-label classification algorithms. Considering the fact that the high dimensionality of the multi-label datasets may cause the curse of dimensionality and wil hamper the classification process, a dimensionality reduction algorithm, named multi-label kernel discriminant analysis (MLKDA), is proposed to reduce the dimensionality of multi-label datasets. MLKDA, with the kernel trick, processes the multi-label integrally and realizes the nonlinear dimensionality reduction with the idea similar with linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the classification process of multi-label data, the extreme learning machine (ELM) is an efficient algorithm in the premise of good accuracy. MLKDA, combined with ELM, shows a good performance in multi-label learning experiments with several datasets. The experiments on both static data and data stream show that MLKDA outperforms multi-label dimensionality reduction via dependence maximization (MDDM) and multi-label linear discriminant analysis (MLDA) in cases of balanced datasets and stronger correlation between tags, and ELM is also a good choice for multi-label classification.展开更多

Dimensionality reduction is an important but challenging task in multi-label learning. Feature selection is an efficient technique for dimensionality reduction to search an optimal feature subset preserving the most relevant information. In this paper, we propose an effective feature evaluation criterion for multi-label feature selection, called neighborhood relationship preserving score. This criterion is inspired by similarity preservation, which is widely used in single-label feature selection. It evaluates each feature subset by measuring its capability in preserving neighborhood relationship among samples. Unlike similarity preservation, we address the order of sample similarities which can well express the neighborhood relationship among samples, not just the pairwise sample similarity. With this criterion, we also design one ranking algorithm and one greedy algorithm for feature selection problem. The proposed algorithms are validated in six publicly available data sets from machine learning repository. Experimental results demonstrate their superiorities over the compared state-of-the-art methods.展开更多

Traditional learning algorithms, however, have to depend on samples with complete labels. The existing learning algorithms with missing labels do not consider the relevance of labels, resulting in label estimation errors of new samples. A new multi-label learning algorithm with support vector machine(SVM) based association(SVMA) is proposed to estimate missing labels by constructing the association between different labels. SVMA will establish a mapping function to minimize the number of samples in the margin while ensuring the margin large enough as well as minimizing the misclassification probability. To evaluate the performance of SVMA in the condition of missing labels, four typical data sets are adopted with the integrity of the labels being handled manually. Simulation results show the superiority of SVMA in dealing with the samples with missing labels compared with other models in image classification.展开更多

Text classification for Asian languages such as Chinese isdifferent from work for other languages such as English which use spaces to separate words.Before classifying text, it is necessary to perform a word segmentation operation to converta continuous language into a list of separate words and then convert it into a vector of acertain dimension. Generally, multi-label learning algorithms can be divided into twocategories, problem transformation methods and adapted algorithms. This work will usecustomer's comments about some hotels as a training data set, which contains labels for allaspects of the hotel evaluation, aiming to analyze and compare the performance of variousmulti-label learning algorithms on Chinese text classification. The experiment involves threebasic methods of problem transformation methods: Support Vector Machine, Random Forest,k-Nearest-Neighbor;and one adapted algorithm of Convolutional Neural Network.

To provide useful clues for developing antiviral drugs, information of anatomical therapeutic chemicals is vitally important. In view of this, a CNN based predictor called “iATC_Deep-mISF” has been developed. The predictor is particularly useful in dealing with the multi-label systems in which some chemicals may occur in two or more different classes. To maximize the convenience for most experimental scientists, a user-friendly web-server for the new predictor has been established at http://www.jci-bioinfo.cn/iATC_Deep-mISF/, which will become a very powerful tool for developing effective drugs to fight pandemic coronavirus and save the mankind of this planet.展开更多

Like conventional categorization problems, multi-label categorization tasks suffer from the curse of high dimensionality. Existing multi-label dimensionality reduction methods mainly suffer from two limitations. First, latent nonlinear structures are not utilized in the input space. Second, the label information is not fully exploited. This paper proposes a new method, multi-label local discriminative embedding (MLDE), which exploits latent structures to minimize intraclass distances and maximize interclass distances on the basis of label correlations. The latent structures are extracted by constructing two sets of adjacency graphs to make use of nonlinear information. Non-symmetric label correlations, which are the case in real applications, are adopted. The problem is formulated into a global objective function and a linear mapping is achieved to solve out-of-sample problems. Empirical studies across 11 Yahoo sub-tasks, Enron and Bibtex are conducted to validate the superiority of MLDE to state-of-art multi-label dimensionality reduction methods.展开更多

A multiscale and multi-label convolutional neural network( MSMLCNN) is proposed to predict multiple pedestrian attributes simultaneously. The pedestrian attribute classification problem is firstly transformed into a multi-label problem including multiple binary attributes needed to be classified. Then,the multi-label problem is solved by fully connecting all binary attributes to multi-scale features with logistic regression functions. Moreover,the multi-scale features are obtained by concatenating those featured maps produced from multiple pooling layers of the MSMLCNN at different scales. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed MSMLCNN outperforms state-of-the-art pedestrian attribute classification methods with a large margin.展开更多

文摘In low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)environments,the traditional radar emitter recognition(RER)method struggles to recognize multiple radar emitter signals in parallel.This paper proposes a multi-label classification and recognition method for multiple radar-emitter modulation types based on a residual network.This method can quickly perform parallel classification and recognition of multi-modulation radar time-domain aliasing signals under low SNRs.First,we perform time-frequency analysis on the received signal to extract the normalized time-frequency image through the short-time Fourier transform(STFT).The time-frequency distribution image is then denoised using a deep normalized convolutional neural network(DNCNN).Secondly,the multi-label classification and recognition model for multi-modulation radar emitter time-domain aliasing signals is established,and learning the characteristics of radar signal time-frequency distribution image dataset to achieve the purpose of training model.Finally,time-frequency image is recognized and classified through the model,thus completing the automatic classification and recognition of the time-domain aliasing signal.Simulation results show that the proposed method can classify and recognize radar emitter signals of different modulation types in parallel under low SNRs.

文摘Multi-label learning is an active research area which plays an important role in machine learning. Traditional learning algorithms, however, have to depend on samples with complete labels. The existing learning algorithms with missing labels do not consider the relevance of labels, resulting in label estimation errors of new samples. A new multi-label learning algorithm with support vector machine(SVM) based association(SVMA) is proposed to estimate missing labels by constructing the association between different labels. SVMA will establish a mapping function to minimize the number of samples in the margin while ensuring the margin large enough as well as minimizing the misclassification probability. To evaluate the performance of SVMA in the condition of missing labels, four typical data sets are adopted with the integrity of the labels being handled manually. Simulation results show the superiority of SVMA in dealing with the samples with missing labels compared with other models in image classification.
文摘In recent years,multi-label learning has received a lot of attention.However,most of the existing methods only consider global label correlation or local label correlation.In fact,on the one hand,both global and local label correlations can appear in real-world situation at same time.On the other hand,we should not be limited to pairwise labels while ignoring the high-order label correlation.In this paper,we propose a novel and effective method called GLLCBN for multi-label learning.Firstly,we obtain the global label correlation by exploiting label semantic similarity.Then,we analyze the pairwise labels in the label space of the data set to acquire the local correlation.Next,we build the original version of the label dependency model by global and local label correlations.After that,we use graph theory,probability theory and Bayesian networks to eliminate redundant dependency structure in the initial version model,so as to get the optimal label dependent model.Finally,we obtain the feature extraction model by adjusting the Inception V3 model of convolution neural network and combine it with the GLLCBN model to achieve the multi-label learning.The experimental results show that our proposed model has better performance than other multi-label learning methods in performance evaluating.

文摘The Internet of Medical Things(IoMT)will come to be of great importance in the mediation of medical disputes,as it is emerging as the core of intelligent medical treatment.First,IoMT can track the entire medical treatment process in order to provide detailed trace data in medical dispute resolution.Second,IoMT can infiltrate the ongoing treatment and provide timely intelligent decision support to medical staff.This information includes recommendation of similar historical cases,guidance for medical treatment,alerting of hired dispute profiteers etc.The multi-label classification of medical dispute documents(MDDs)plays an important role as a front-end process for intelligent decision support,especially in the recommendation of similar historical cases.However,MDDs usually appear as long texts containing a large amount of redundant information,and there is a serious distribution imbalance in the dataset,which directly leads to weaker classification performance.Accordingly,in this paper,a multi-label classification method based on key sentence extraction is proposed for MDDs.The method is divided into two parts.First,the attention-based hierarchical bi-directional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)model is used to extract key sentences from documents;second,random comprehensive sampling Bagging(RCS-Bagging),which is an ensemble multi-label classification model,is employed to classify MDDs based on key sentence sets.The use of this approach greatly improves the classification performance.Experiments show that the performance of the two models proposed in this paper is remarkably better than that of the baseline methods.

文摘It is a key challenge to exploit the label coupling relationship in multi-label classification(MLC)problems.Most previous work focused on label pairwise relations,in which generally only global statistical information is used to analyze the coupled label relationship.In this work,firstly Bayesian and hypothesis testing methods are applied to predict the label set size of testing samples within their k nearest neighbor samples,which combines global and local statistical information,and then apriori algorithm is used to mine the label coupling relationship among multiple labels rather than pairwise labels,which can exploit the label coupling relations more accurately and comprehensively.The experimental results on text,biology and audio datasets shown that,compared with the state-of-the-art algorithm,the proposed algorithm can obtain better performance on 5 common criteria.

文摘Multi-label text categorization refers to the problem of categorizing text througha multi-label learning algorithm. Text classification for Asian languages such as Chinese isdifferent from work for other languages such as English which use spaces to separate words.Before classifying text, it is necessary to perform a word segmentation operation to converta continuous language into a list of separate words and then convert it into a vector of acertain dimension. Generally, multi-label learning algorithms can be divided into twocategories, problem transformation methods and adapted algorithms. This work will usecustomer's comments about some hotels as a training data set, which contains labels for allaspects of the hotel evaluation, aiming to analyze and compare the performance of variousmulti-label learning algorithms on Chinese text classification. The experiment involves threebasic methods of problem transformation methods: Support Vector Machine, Random Forest,k-Nearest-Neighbor;and one adapted algorithm of Convolutional Neural Network. Theexperimental results show that the Support Vector Machine has better performance.
文摘The recent worldwide spreading of pneumonia-causing virus, such as Coronavirus, COVID-19, and H1N1, has been endangering the life of human beings all around the world. To provide useful clues for developing antiviral drugs, information of anatomical therapeutic chemicals is vitally important. In view of this, a CNN based predictor called “iATC_Deep-mISF” has been developed. The predictor is particularly useful in dealing with the multi-label systems in which some chemicals may occur in two or more different classes. To maximize the convenience for most experimental scientists, a user-friendly web-server for the new predictor has been established at http://www.jci-bioinfo.cn/iATC_Deep-mISF/, which will become a very powerful tool for developing effective drugs to fight pandemic coronavirus and save the mankind of this planet.

文摘In this paper a novel coupled attribute similarity learning method is proposed with the basis on the multi-label categorical data(CASonMLCD).The CASonMLCD method not only computes the correlations between different attributes and multi-label sets using information gain,which can be regarded as the important degree of each attribute in the attribute learning method,but also further analyzes the intra-coupled and inter-coupled interactions between an attribute value pair for different attributes and multiple labels.The paper compared the CASonMLCD method with the OF distance and Jaccard similarity,which is based on the MLKNN algorithm according to 5common evaluation criteria.The experiment results demonstrated that the CASonMLCD method can mine the similarity relationship more accurately and comprehensively,it can obtain better performance than compared methods.

文摘Multi-label classification problems arise frequently in text categorization, and many other related applications. Like conventional categorization problems, multi-label categorization tasks suffer from the curse of high dimensionality. Existing multi-label dimensionality reduction methods mainly suffer from two limitations. First, latent nonlinear structures are not utilized in the input space. Second, the label information is not fully exploited. This paper proposes a new method, multi-label local discriminative embedding (MLDE), which exploits latent structures to minimize intraclass distances and maximize interclass distances on the basis of label correlations. The latent structures are extracted by constructing two sets of adjacency graphs to make use of nonlinear information. Non-symmetric label correlations, which are the case in real applications, are adopted. The problem is formulated into a global objective function and a linear mapping is achieved to solve out-of-sample problems. Empirical studies across 11 Yahoo sub-tasks, Enron and Bibtex are conducted to validate the superiority of MLDE to state-of-art multi-label dimensionality reduction methods.

文摘To reduce the discrepancy between the source and target domains,a new multi-label adaptation network(ML-ANet)based on multiple kernel variants with maximum mean discrepancies is proposed in this paper.The hidden representations of the task-specific layers in ML-ANet are embedded in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space(RKHS)so that the mean-embeddings of specific features in different domains could be precisely matched.Multiple kernel functions are used to improve feature distribution efficiency for explicit mean embedding matching,which can further reduce domain discrepancy.Adverse weather and cross-camera adaptation examinations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of our proposed ML-ANet.The results show that our proposed ML-ANet achieves higher accuracies than the compared state-of-the-art methods for multi-label image classification in both the adverse weather adaptation and cross-camera adaptation experiments.These results indicate that ML-ANet can alleviate the reliance on fully labeled training data and improve the accuracy of multi-label image classification in various domain shift scenarios.

文摘Pedestrian attribute classification from a pedestrian image captured in surveillance scenarios is challenging due to diverse clothing appearances,varied poses and different camera views. A multiscale and multi-label convolutional neural network( MSMLCNN) is proposed to predict multiple pedestrian attributes simultaneously. The pedestrian attribute classification problem is firstly transformed into a multi-label problem including multiple binary attributes needed to be classified. Then,the multi-label problem is solved by fully connecting all binary attributes to multi-scale features with logistic regression functions. Moreover,the multi-scale features are obtained by concatenating those featured maps produced from multiple pooling layers of the MSMLCNN at different scales. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed MSMLCNN outperforms state-of-the-art pedestrian attribute classification methods with a large margin.

文摘Multi-label learning deals with objects associated with multiple class labels,and aims to induce a predictive model which can assign a set of relevant class labels for an unseen instance.Since each class might possess its own characteristics,the strategy of extracting label-specific features has been widely employed to improve the discrimination process in multi-label learning,where the predictive model is induced based on tailored features specific to each class label instead of the identical instance representations.As a representative approach,LIFT generates label-specific features by conducting clustering analysis.However,its performance may be degraded due to the inherent instability of the single clustering algorithm.To improve this,a novel multi-label learning approach named SENCE(stable label-Specific features gENeration for multi-label learning via mixture-based Clustering Ensemble)is proposed,which stabilizes the generation process of label-specific features via clustering ensemble techniques.Specifically,more stable clustering results are obtained by firstly augmenting the original instance repre-sentation with cluster assignments from base clusters and then fitting a mixture model via the expectation-maximization(EM)algorithm.Extensive experiments on eighteen benchmark data sets show that SENCE performs better than LIFT and other well-established multi-label learning algorithms.
