Abstract

In the multi-label classification task (Automatic Tagging of Zhihu Questions), we present a classification system which includes five processes. Firstly, we use a preprocessing step to solve the problem that there is too much noise in the training dataset. Secondly, we choose several neural network models which proved effective in text classification task. Then we introduce k-max pooling structure to these models to fit this task. Thirdly, in order to obtain a better performance in ensemble process, we use an experiment-designing process to obtain classification results that are not similar to each other and all achieve relatively high scores. Fourthly, we use an ensemble process. Finally, we propose a method to estimate how many labels should be chosen. With these processes, our F1 score achieves 0.5194, which ranked No. 3.
