| Summary: | To deal with the problem where each instance is associated with multiple labels, a lot of multi-label learning algorithms have been developed in recent years. Some approaches have been proposed to select label-specific features to utilize discriminate features for multi-label classification. Although label correlation has been considered in learning label-specific features, the critical correlation among instances was less taken into account. In this paper, we proposed a new approach called multi-label learning with label-specific features using correlation information (LSF-CI) to learn label-specific features for each label with the consideration of both correlation information in label space and correlation information in feature space. In the LSF-CI, the instance correlation in feature space is computed by a probabilistic neighborhood graph model, and label correlation in label space is computed by cosine similarity. For multi-label data, the LSF-CI has the capability to select Label-specific features for each label as well as classify an unseen instance into a set of relevant labels. To validate the effectiveness of LSF-CI, we conducted comprehensive experiments on eight multi-label datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the LSF-CI is capable of selecting compact label-specific features, and achieving a competitive performance in comparison with the performances of the existing multi-label learning approaches.
