text: In multi-label classification (MLC), each instance is associated with a set
of class labels, in contrast to standard classification where an instance is assigned
a single label. Binary relevance (BR) learning, which reduces a multi-label to
a set of binary classification problems, one per label, is arguably the most straight-forward
approach to MLC. In spite of its simplicity, BR proved to be competitive to more
sophisticated MLC methods, and still achieves state-of-the-art performance for
many loss functions. Somewhat surprisingly, the optimal choice of the base learner
for tackling the binary classification problems has received very little attention
so far. Taking advantage of the label independence assumption inherent to BR,
we propose a label-wise base learner selection method optimizing label-wise macro
averaged performance measures. In an extensive experimental evaluation, we find
that or approach, called LiBRe, can significantly improve generalization performance.
