Popis: Label Distribution Learning (LDL) is a new learning paradigm with numerous applications in various domains. It is a generalization of both standard multiclass classification and multilabel classification. Instead of a binary value, in LDL, each label is assigned a real number which corresponds to a degree of membership of the object being classified to a given class. In this paper a new neural network approach to Label Distribution Learning (Duo-LDL), which considers pairwise class dependencies, is introduced. The method is extensively tested on 15 well-established benchmark sets, against 6 evaluation measures, proving its competitiveness to state-of-the-art non-neural LDL approaches. Additional experimental results on artificially generated data demonstrate that Duo-LDL is especially effective in the case of most challenging benchmarks, with extensive input feature representations and numerous output classes.
