Solved – Multi-label classification

classificationmachine learningmultilabelr

I am working on a project and I need some suggestions.

I have a data set with 600 songs and for each song we have 60 numerical features (linked to the rhythm and the timbre of the sound). Moreover one or more emotions chosen out of 6 (happy,amazed,angry,sad,quiet,relaxing) are associated to each song. This means that, for each song, we have a vector of 60 numerical features and a binary vector of 6 labels (with one or more ones) and our objective is to be able to classify the songs with respect to the emotions associated starting from their physical features.

Do you have any suggestion about multi-label classification algorithms (or others) that we could use? Are there some useful libraries on R?

Best Answer

Predict each label independently.

Because objects may have more than one label.

Thus, this isn't really a multi-class problem, because the classes aren't disjoint.
