Hierarchical multi-label classification using local neural networks

作者:

Highlights:

• We incrementally train a multi-layer perceptron for each level of the classification hierarchy.

• Predictions made in a level are used as inputs to the neural network associated to the next level.

• Local information learned in a level was useful to learn a neural network in the next level.

• We discussed about the smaller number of predictions made by our method in the deeper hierarchical levels.

• Experimental analysis show that our method obtains better or competitive results.
