Abstract

Multi-label classification is to assign an instance to multiple classes. Naïve Bayes (NB) is one of the most popular algorithms for pattern recognition and classification. It has a high performance in single label classification. It is naturally extended for multi-label classification under the assumption of label independence. As we know, NB is based on a simple but unrealistic assumption that attributes are conditionally independent given the class. Therefore, a double weighted NB (DWNB) is proposed to demonstrate the influences of predicting different labels based on different attributes. Our DWNB utilizes the niching cultural algorithm to determine the weight configuration automatically. Our experimental results show that our proposed DWNB outperforms NB and its extensions significantly in multi-label classification.
