A Hierarchical Multilabel Classification Task is a Multilabel Classification Task where the Target Classes are organized into a Hierarchy.
- AKA: HMC.
- Context:
- "Hierarchical multi-label classification (HMC) differs from normal classification in two ways: (1) a single example may belong to multiple classes simultaneously; and (2) the classes are organized in a hierarchy: an example that belongs to some class automatically belongs to all its superclasses (we call this the hierarchy constraint).
- It can be solved by a Hierarchical Multilabel Classification Algorithm, such as a Hierarchical Decision Tree Algorithm.
- Is a type of Hierarchical Classification Task.
- See: HMC System.
