Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Simplified Constraints Rank-SVM (SCRank-SVM) for multi-label classification based on well established Rank-SVM algorithm. Based on the features of the application, we remove the bias term b and modify the decision boundary. Due to the absence of term b, SCRank-SVM has milder optimization constraints. Therefore, SCRank-SVM achieves better solution space compared with Rank-SVM. Experimental results on five datasets show that the proposed algorithm is a powerful candidate for multi-label classification, compared with four existing state of the art multi-label algorithms according to four indicative measures.
