Learning Classifiers Using Hierarchically Structured Class Taxonomies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider classification problems in which the class labels are organized into an abstraction hierarchy in the form of a class taxonomy. We define a structured label classification problem. We explore two approaches for learning classifiers in such a setting. We also develop a class of performance measures for evaluating the resulting classifiers. We present preliminary results that demonstrate the promise of the proposed approaches.

True Path Rule Hierarchical Ensembles
Hierarchical classification problems gained increasing attention within the machine learning community, and several methods for hierarchically structured taxonomies have been recently proposed, with applications ranging from classification of web documents to bioinformatics. In this paper we propose a novel ensemble algorithm for multilabel, multi-path, tree-structured hierarchical classificati...
متن کاملHierarchical Boosting for Gene Function Prediction
Functional classification of genes using diverse bio-molecular data obtained from high-throughput technologies is a fundamental problem in bioinformatics and functional genomics. Genes are organized and classified according to a hierarchical classification scheme and each gene will participate in multiple activities. Flat classifiers, that work on non-hierarchical classification problems indepe...
متن کاملLearning Hierarchical Classifiers with Class Taxonomies
As more and more data with class taxonomies emerge in diverse fields, such as pattern recognition, text classification and gene function prediction, we need to extend traditional machine learning methods to solve classification problem in such data sets, which presents more challenges over common pattern classification problems. In this paper, we define structured label classification problem a...
متن کاملBayesian Aggregation for Hierarchical Genre Classification
Hierarchical taxonomies of classes arise in the analysis of many types of musical information, including genre, as a means of organizing overlapping categories at varying levels of generality. However, incorporating hierarchical structure into conventional machine learning systems presents a challenge: the use of independent binary classifiers for each class in the hierarchy can produce hierarc...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Flat and Hierarchical Performance Measures for Multi-Label Classification with Hierarchy Extraction
Multi-label Classification (MC) often deals with hierarchically organized class taxonomies. In contrast to Hierarchical Multi-label Classification (HMC), where the class hierarchy is assumed to be known a priori, we are interested in the opposite case where it is unknown and should be extracted from multi-label data automatically. In this case the predictive performance of a classifier can be a...
