Towards Label Imbalance in Multi-label Classification with Many Labels

In multi-label classification, an instance may be associated with a set of labels simultaneously. Recently, the research on multi-label classification has largely shifted its focus to the other end of the spectrum where the number of labels is assumed to be extremely large. The existing works focus on how to design scalable algorithms that offer fast training procedures and have a small memory footprint. However they ignore and even compound another challenge - the label imbalance problem. To address this drawback, we propose a novel Representation-based Multi-label Learning with Sampling (RMLS) approach. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to tackle the imbalance problem in multi-label classification with many labels. Our experimentations with real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A Dependency-Based Neural Network for Relation Classification

Previous research on relation classification has verified the effectiveness of using dependency shortest paths or subtrees. In this paper, we further explore how to make full use of the combination of these dependency information. We first propose a new structure, termed augmented dependency path (ADP), which is composed of the shortest dependency path between two entities and the subtrees attached to the shortest path. To exploit the semantic representation behind the ADP structure, we develop dependency-based neural networks (DepNN): a recursive neural network designed to model the subtrees, and a convolutional neural network to capture the most important features on the shortest path. Experiments on the SemEval-2010 dataset show that our proposed method achieves state-of-art results.
