• Abstract: Hierarchical classification (HC) plays a pivotal role in multi-class classification tasks, where objects are organized into a hierarchical structure. This study explores the performance of HC through a comprehensive analysis that encompasses both hierarchy generation and hierarchy exploitation. This analysis is particularly relevant in scenarios where a predefined hierarchy structure is not readily accessible. Notably, two novel hierarchy exploitation schemes, LCPN+ and LCPN+F, which extend the capabilities of LCPN and combine the strengths of global and local classification, have been introduced and evaluated alongside existing methods. The findings reveal the consistent superiority of LCPN+F, which outperforms other schemes across various datasets and scenarios. Moreover, this research emphasizes not only effectiveness but also efficiency, as LCPN+ and LCPN+F maintain runtime performance comparable to Flat Classification (FC). Additionally, this study underscores the importance of selecting the right hierarchy exploitation scheme to maximize classification performance. This work extends our understanding of HC and establishes a benchmark for future research, fostering advancements in multi-class classification methodologies.

  Weakly-supervised action localization aims to localize and classify action instances in the given videos temporally with only video-level categorical labels. We propose a hierarchical mining strategy under video-level and snippet-level manners, i.e., hierarchical supervision and hierarchical consistency mining. We show that HiM-Net outperforms existing methods on THUMOS14 and ActivityNet1.3 datasets with large margins by hierarchically mining the supervision and consistency.

  We introduce a new statistic called the multidimensional local precision rate (mLPR) for each object in each class. We show that classification decisions made by simply sorting objects across classes in descending order of their mLPRs can, in theory, ensure the class hierarchy. In response, we introduce HierRank, a new algorithm that maximizes an empirical version of CATCH using estimated mLPRs while respecting the hierarchy.

  Existing Class Incremental Learning (CIL) methods are based on a supervised classification framework sensitive to data labels. When updating them based on the new class data, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting: the model cannot discern old class data clearly from the new. In this paper, we explore the performance of Self-Supervised representation learning in Class Incremental Learning (SSCIL) for the first time.

  We analyze HRL in the meta-RL setting, where learner learns latent hierarchical structure during meta-training for use in a downstream task. We provide "diversity conditions" which, together with a tractable optimism-based algorithm, guarantee sample-efficient recovery of this natural hierarchy. Our bounds incorporate common notions in HRL literature such as temporal and state/action abstractions, suggesting that our setting and analysis capture important features of HRL in practice.

  This paper examines the efficiency of a hierarchically designed CNN based framework that is suitable for such arrangements. We have two cascaded deep CNN models initiated using DenseNet-121 architectures. The results of our experiments show that although individual classifiers for different sub-categories in the hierarchical scheme perform well, the accumulation of classification errors in the cascaded structure prevents its classification performance from exceeding that of the non hierarchical deep model.

• 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.
