• Abstract summary: Existing methods encode label hierarchy in a global view, where label hierarchy is treated as the static hierarchical structure containing all labels. We propose Hierarchy-guided BERT with Global and Local hierarchies (HBGL) to model both global and local hierarchies. Compared with the state-of-the-art method HGCLR, our method achieves significant improvement on three benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: Hierarchical text classification aims to leverage label hierarchy in multi-label text classification. Existing methods encode label hierarchy in a global view, where label hierarchy is treated as the static hierarchical structure containing all labels. Since global hierarchy is static and irrelevant to text samples, it makes these methods hard to exploit hierarchical information. Contrary to global hierarchy, local hierarchy as the structured target labels hierarchy corresponding to each text sample is dynamic and relevant to text samples, which is ignored in previous methods. To exploit global and local hierarchies, we propose Hierarchy-guided BERT with Global and Local hierarchies (HBGL), which utilizes the large-scale parameters and prior language knowledge of BERT to model both global and local hierarchies. Moreover, HBGL avoids the intentional fusion of semantic and hierarchical modules by directly modeling semantic and hierarchical information with BERT. Compared with the state-of-the-art method HGCLR, our method achieves significant improvement on three benchmark datasets.

  We propose a new framework that explores the label hierarchy by augmenting the observed labels with latent labels that follow a prior hierarchical structure. Our approach uses a 1-Wasserstein metric over the tree metric space as an objective function, which enables us to simultaneously learn a data-driven label hierarchy and perform (semi-supervised) learning.

  implicit discourse relation recognition (IDRR) is a challenging task in discourse analysis. Recent methods tend to integrate the whole hierarchical information of senses into discourse relation representations. We propose a novel GlObal and Local Hierarchy-aware Contrastive Framework (GOLF), to model two kinds of hierarchies.

  hierarchical semantic segmentation (HSS) aims at structured, pixel-wise description of visual observation in terms of a class hierarchy. HSSN casts HSS as a pixel-wise multi-label classification task, only bringing minimal architecture change to current segmentation models. With hierarchy-induced margin constraints, HSSN reshapes the pixel embedding space, so as to generate well-structured pixel representations.

  We propose a hierarchy-guided Contrastive Learning (HGCLR) to embed the label hierarchy into a text encoder. During training, HGCLR constructs positive samples for input text under the guidance of the label hierarchy. After training, the HGCLR enhanced text encoder can dispense with the redundant hierarchy.
