Dear all, We are happy to announce Extreme Multilabel Classification for Social Media workshop organized at WWW 2018. XMLC is a very active and rapidly growing research area that deals with the problem of labeling an item with a set of tags out of an extremely large number of potential tags. While the difficulty and the potential applications of XMLC are well understood in the core machine learning community, to the best of our knowledge, XMLC has not made inroads in the field of Information Retrieval (IR) and related areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring researchers from academia and industry to further advance this very exciting field and come up with potential applications of XMLC in new areas. Our pleasure to have some of the most prominent experts of this field as speaker of our workshop. The tentative program is of high quality with the following speakers, without being exhaustive:
- Mouhamadou Moustapha Cisse: Deep Extreme Classification: From head to tail - Anshumali Shrivastava: Training 100,000 classes on a Single Titan X in 7 hours or 15 minutes with 25 Titan Xs - Manik Varma: Extremes Classification: Tagging on Wikipedia, Recommendation on Amazon & Advertising on Bing - Marius Kloft: Distributed Training of All-in-one Multi-class SVMs - Lu Tang, Sougata Chaudhuri, Abraham Bagherjeiran and Ling Zhou: Learning Large Scale Ordinal Ranking Model via Divide-and-Conquer Technique - Kishaloy Halder, Lahari Poddar and Min-Yen Kan: Cold Start Thread Recommendation as Extreme Multi-label Classification If you are going to attend WWW'18, our XMLC workshop is definitely a good place to stop by, where you can listen some interesting talks, participate in lively discussions.
