A Novel Progressive Multi-label Classifier for Classincremental Data
In this paper, a progressive learning algorithm for multi-label
classification to learn new labels while retaining the knowledge of previous
labels is designed. New output neurons corresponding to new labels are added
and the neural network connections and parameters are automatically
restructured as if the label has been introduced from the beginning. This work
is the first of the kind in multi-label classifier for class-incremental
learning. It is useful for real-world applications such as robotics where
streaming data are available and the number of labels is often unknown. Based
on the Extreme Learning Machine framework, a novel universal classifier with
plug and play capabilities for progressive multi-label classification is
developed. Experimental results on various benchmark synthetic and real
datasets validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 4 table
