Abstract Automated cartoon character recognition is crucial for applications in content indexing, filtering, and copyright protection, yet it faces a significant challenge in animated media due to high intra-class visual variability, where characters frequently alter their appearance. To address this problem, we introduce the novel Kral Sakir dataset, a public benchmark of 16,725 images specifically curated for the task of multi-label cartoon character classification under these varied conditions. This paper conducts a comprehensive benchmark study, evaluating the performance of state-of-the-art pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), including DenseNet, ResNet, and VGG, against a custom baseline model trained More >

Abstract In its 2023 global health statistics, the World Health Organization noted that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) remain the leading cause of disease burden worldwide, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) resulting in more deaths than the three other major NCDs combined. In this study, we developed a method that can comprehensively detect which CVDs are present in a patient. Specifically, we propose a multi-label classification method that utilizes photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and physiological characteristics from public datasets to classify four types of CVDs and related conditions: hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarction, and cerebrovascular disease. Our approach to multi-disease classification… More >

Abstract Automated and accurate movie genre classification is crucial for content organization, recommendation systems, and audience targeting in the film industry. Although most existing approaches focus on audiovisual features such as trailers and posters, the text-based classification remains underexplored despite its accessibility and semantic richness. This paper introduces the Genre Attention Model (GAM), a deep learning architecture that integrates transformer models with a hierarchical attention mechanism to extract and leverage contextual information from movie plots for multi-label genre classification. In order to assess its effectiveness, we assess multiple transformer-based models, including Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers… More >

Abstract Multitasking and multioutput neural networks models jointly learn related classification tasks from a shared structure. Hard parameters sharing is a multitasking approach that shares hidden layers between multiple task-specific outputs. The output layers’ weights are essential in transforming aggregated neurons outputs into tasks labels. This paper redirects the multioutput network research to prove that the ensemble of output layers prediction can improve network performance in classifying multi-label classification tasks. The network’s output layers initialized with different weights simulate multiple semi-independent classifiers that can make non-identical label sets predictions for the same instance. The ensemble of… More >

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized intelligent systems that range from self-driving automobiles, search engines, business/market analysis, fraud detection, network intrusion investigation, and medical diagnosis. Classification lies at the core of Machine Learning and Multi-label Classification (MLC) is the closest to real-life problems related to heuristics. It is a type of classification problem where multiple labels or classes can be assigned to more than one instance simultaneously. The level of complexity in MLC is increased by factors such as data imbalance, high dimensionality, label correlations, and noise. Conventional MLC techniques such as ensembles-based approaches, Multi-label Stacking,… More >

Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) will come to be of great importance in the mediation of medical disputes, as it is emerging as the core of intelligent medical treatment. First, IoMT can track the entire medical treatment process in order to provide detailed trace data in medical dispute resolution. Second, IoMT can infiltrate the ongoing treatment and provide timely intelligent decision support to medical staff. This information includes recommendation of similar historical cases, guidance for medical treatment, alerting of hired dispute profiteers etc. The multi-label classification of medical dispute documents (MDDs) plays an important… More >

Abstract In the last few years, smartphone usage and driver sleepiness have been unanimously considered to lead to numerous road accidents, which causes many scholars to pay attention to autonomous driving. For this complexity scene, one of the major challenges is mining information comprehensively from massive features in vehicle video. This paper proposes a multi-label classification method MCM-VV (Multi-label Classification Method for Vehicle Video) for vehicle video to judge the label of road condition for unmanned system. Method MCM-VV includes a process of feature extraction and a process of multi-label classification. During feature extraction, grayscale, lane… More >

Abstract Multi-label text categorization refers to the problem of categorizing text through a multi-label learning algorithm. Text classification for Asian languages such as Chinese is different from work for other languages such as English which use spaces to separate words. Before classifying text, it is necessary to perform a word segmentation operation to convert a continuous language into a list of separate words and then convert it into a vector of a certain dimension. Generally, multi-label learning algorithms can be divided into two categories, problem transformation methods and adapted algorithms. This work will use customer's comments More >

Abstract Multi-target regression is concerned with the simultaneous prediction of multiple continuous target variables based on the same set of input variables. It has received relatively small attention from the Machine Learning community. However, multi-target regression exists in many real-world applications. In this paper we conduct extensive experiments to investigate the performance of three representative multi-target regression learning algorithms (i.e. Multi-Target Stacking (MTS), Random Linear Target Combination (RLTC), and Multi-Objective Random Forest (MORF)), comparing the baseline single-target learning. Our experimental results show that all three multi-target regression learning algorithms do improve the performance of the single-target More >

Abstract By using efficient and timely medical diagnostic decision making, clinicians can positively impact the quality and cost of medical care. However, the high similarity of clinical manifestations between diseases and the limitation of clinicians’ knowledge both bring much difficulty to decision making in diagnosis. Therefore, building a decision support system that can assist medical staff in diagnosing and treating diseases has lately received growing attentions in the medical domain. In this paper, we employ a multi-label classification framework to classify the Chinese electronic medical records to establish corresponding relation between the medical records and disease… More >
