An ensemble method for high-dimensional multilabel data (Q460284)

Summary: Multilabel learning is now receiving an increasing attention from a variety of domains and many learning algorithms have been witnessed. Similarly, the multilabel learning may also suffer from the problems of high dimensionality, and little attention has been paid to this issue. In this paper, we propose a new ensemble learning algorithms for multilabel data. The main characteristic of our method is that it exploits the features with local discriminative capabilities for each label to serve the purpose of classification. Specifically, for each label, the discriminative capabilities of features on positive and negative data are estimated, and then the top features with the highest capabilities are obtained. Finally, a binary classifier for each label is constructed on the top features. Experimental results on the benchmark data sets show that the proposed method outperforms four popular and previously published multilabel learning algorithms.
