Hierarchical, multi-label classification of scholarly publications: Modifications of ML-KNN algorithm

Abstract

One of the common problems when dealing with digital libraries is lack of classification codes in some of the documents. In the following publication we deal with this problem in a multi-label, hierarchical case of Mathematics Subject Classification System. We develop modifications of ML-KNN algorithm and show how they improve results given by the algorithm on example of Springer textual data. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
