Qingxia Jiang, Peipei Li, Yuhong Zhang, Xuegang Hu · 2023
Label missing is a major challenge in multi-label learning. Many existing methods try to use label correlation to recover ground-truth labels, but they only focus on the label correlation within the original label space, however, the label correlation learned in this way is incomplete. Thus, inspired$b$y the matrix adaptive column correlation, we propose a method to continuously adjust the label correlation matrix while the labels are filled in by adaptive column correlation learning method. Specifically, to reduce the impact of the missing labelson label correlation, the label space is firstly completed through manifold regularization while learning the local label information by adaptive column correlation learning in the complemented label space. Secondly, the global label correlation is utilized by adding a low-rank constraint to the entire label space. Finally, by jointly taking advantage of the global and adaptive local label correlation, our proposed approach achieves superior performance on both synthetic and real-world data sets from diverse domains compared to state-of-the art baselines.
