AttentionXML: Label Tree-based Attention-Aware Deep Model for High-Performance Extreme Multi-Label Text Classification

You, Ronghui, Zhang, Zihan, Wang, Ziye et al.

Understand

Extreme multi-label text classification (XMTC) is an important problem in the era of big data, for tagging a given text with the most relevant multiple labels from an extremely large-scale label set.

  • XMTC can be found in many applications, such as item categorization, web page tagging, and news annotation.
  • Traditionally most methods used bag-of-words (BOW) as inputs, ignoring word context as well as deep semantic information.
  • Recent attempts to overcome the problems of BOW by deep learning still suffer from 1) failing to capture the important subtext for each label and 2) lack of scalability against the huge number of labels.
