MLD '09
1st International Workshop on learning from Multi-Label Data
http://lpis.csd.auth.gr/workshops/mld09/
September 7, 2009 - Bled, Slovenia
Held in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2009:
European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases
===================================================================
BACKGROUND
Multi-label learning deals with the problem where each example is
associated with multiple labels and thus encompasses traditional
supervised learning (single-label) as its special case.
Though methods for learning from multi-label textual data have been
proposed since 1999, the recent years have witnessed an increasing
number and diversity of applications, such as image/video annotation,
bioinformatics, web search and mining, music categorization,
collaborative tagging and directed marketing.
Learning from multi-label data stretches across several aspects of
supervised learning tasks, including classification, ranking, semi-
supervised learning, active learning and dimensionality reduction, and
across several learning paradigms, such as decision trees, nearest
neighbor classifiers, neural networks, ensemble methods, support
vector machines, kernel methods, genetic algorithms, etc.
It poses several old and new research challenges, such as exploiting
label correlation to improve predictive performance, exploiting
structure and semantic relationships among the labels to improve
predictive performance and computational efficiency, and scaling
learning methods to very large number of labels and examples. In
addition, multi-label learning is closely related to other learning
frameworks, such as the newly proposed multi-instance multi-label
learning (MIML).
AIMS & SCOPE
The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners
that work on various aspects of multi-label learning into a fruitful
dicussion about the state-of-the-art and the remaining open problems,
and to offer them an opportunity to identify new promising research
directions. To achieve this goal we are soliciting two types of
contributions: a) mature research results, and b) interesting
preliminary results or stimulating position statements. In addition,
the workshop will feature at least one discussion session to allow for
a more interactive and engaging experience.
