TITLE:              "Block-based Partitioning for Extreme Multi-label Classification"

ABSTRACT:   The objective in extreme multi-label classification is to learn a classifier that tags a data point with the most relevant subset of labels from a large label set. In recent years, various approaches are popular, but it remains challenging to deal with a huge number of features and labels, or to deliver high prediction accuracy when the traditional low-rank assumption on training sets is invalid. In this talk, I introduce a block-based partitioning method as a pretreatment to extreme multi-label classification. Real data experiments on large-scale datasets demonstrate that our method improves prediction time while preserves almost the same level of prediction accuracy as existing methods.
