Log-time and Log-space Extreme Classification

7 Nov 2016  ·  Kalina Jasinska, Nikos Karampatziakis ·

We present LTLS, a technique for multiclass and multilabel prediction that can perform training and inference in logarithmic time and space. LTLS embeds large classification problems into simple structured prediction problems and relies on efficient dynamic programming algorithms for inference. We train LTLS with stochastic gradient descent on a number of multiclass and multilabel datasets and show that despite its small memory footprint it is often competitive with existing approaches.
