What is hierarchical multi-label classification task? #5

Closed Steffy-zxf closed 5 years ago

Steffy-zxf commented 5 years ago

As refered, what is the difference between hierarchical multi-label classification task and multi-label classification task? Can you give a example?

liqunhit commented 5 years ago

The key difference is whether the classification taxonomy (or the label) is hierarchical. For example, a hierarchical classification label: "sports--basketball", "sports" is level-1 label of hierarchical taxonomy. "basketball" is level-2 label, and it is a child of "sports". Those two labels has hierarchical relationship.
