A Similarity-based Framework for Classification Task

Zhongchen Ma, Songcan Chen

Similarity-based method gives rise to a new class of methods for multi-label learning and also achieves promising performance. In this paper, we generalize this method, resulting in a new framework for classification task. Specifically, we unite similarity-based learning and generalized linear models to achieve the best of both worlds. This allows us to capture interdependencies between classes and prevent from impairing performance of noisy classes. Each learned parameter of the model can reveal the contribution of one class to another, providing interpretability to some extent. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach on multi-class and multi-label datasets
