• Abstract: Hierarchical classification is significant for complex tasks by providing multi-granular predictions and encouraging better mistakes. As the label structure decides its performance, many existing approaches attempt to construct an excellent label structure for promoting the classification results. In this paper, we consider that different label structures provide a variety of prior knowledge for category recognition, thus fusing them is helpful to achieve better hierarchical classification results. Furthermore, we propose a multi-task multi-structure fusion model to integrate different label structures. It contains two kinds of branches: one is the traditional classification branch to classify the common subclasses, the other is responsible for identifying the heterogeneous superclasses defined by different label structures. Besides the effect of multiple label structures, we also explore the architecture of the deep model for better hierachical classification and adjust the hierarchical evaluation metrics for multiple label structures. Experimental results on CIFAR100 and Car196 show that our method obtains significantly better results than using a flat classifier or a hierarchical classifier with any single label structure.

• Multi-Label Knowledge Distillation [86.03990467785312]
  We propose a novel multi-label knowledge distillation method. On one hand, it exploits the informative semantic knowledge from the logits by dividing the multi-label learning problem into a set of binary classification problems. On the other hand, it enhances the distinctiveness of the learned feature representations by leveraging the structural information of label-wise embeddings.

  In this paper, we propose an incomplete multi-view partial multi-label classification network named RANK. We break through the view-level weights inherent in existing methods and propose a quality-aware sub-network to dynamically assign quality scores to each view of each sample. Our model is not only able to handle complete multi-view multi-label datasets, but also works on datasets with missing instances and labels.

• Inducing a hierarchy for multi-class classification problems [11.58041597483471]
  In applications where categorical labels follow a natural hierarchy, classification methods that exploit the label structure often outperform those that do not. In this paper, we investigate a class of methods that induce a hierarchy that can similarly improve classification performance over flat classifiers. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the class of methods both for discovering a latent hierarchy and for improving accuracy in principled simulation settings and three real data applications.
