Implicit Regularization for Multi-label Feature Selection

arXiv:2411. 11436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of feature selection in the context of multi-label learning, by using a new estimator based on implicit regularization and label embedding.

MORE-PLR: multi-output regression employed for partial label ranking

The paper introduces MORE-PLR, a method that tackles the partial label ranking problem by employing multi-output regression. It uses an encoder to transform incomplete rankings with ties into regression targets during training, and applies post‑hoc layers during inference to convert regression outputs into bucket orders. Experiments show that this framework competes with state‑of‑the‑art partial label ranking methods.

How many labelers do you have? A closer look at gold-standard labels

The paper examines the common practice of aggregating multiple labels per instance into a single ‘true’ label for supervised learning. By creating a theoretical model, the authors show that using the full, non‑aggregated label information can make it easier to train well‑calibrated models, though the benefits depend on the specific problem. They predict when non‑aggregated labels will improve learning and validate these predictions on real datasets.
