Abstract:
This article presents a Support Vector Machine (SVM) like
learning system to handle multi-label problems. Such problems are
usually decomposed into many two-class problems but the
expressive power of such a system can be weak [5, 7]. We explore
a new direct approach. It is based on a large margin ranking
system that shares a lot of common properties with SVMs. We
tested it on a Yeast gene functional classification problem with
positive results.
