Cluster-based Zero-shot learning for multivariate data
This work addresses zero-shot learning for non-image data, providing a baseline method for multivariate binary classification, but it is incremental as it adapts existing concepts to a new domain.
The paper tackles the problem of zero-shot learning for multivariate data, proposing a cluster-based method that assumes data far from training clusters is from a target class, and demonstrates it on the KEEL dataset.
Supervised learning requires a sufficient training dataset which includes all label. However, there are cases that some class is not in the training data. Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) is the task of predicting class that is not in the training data(target class). The existing ZSL method is done for image data. However, the zero-shot problem should happen to every data type. Hence, considering ZSL for other data types is required. In this paper, we propose the cluster-based ZSL method, which is a baseline method for multivariate binary classification problems. The proposed method is based on the assumption that if data is far from training data, the data is considered as target class. In training, clustering is done for training data. In prediction, the data is determined belonging to a cluster or not. If data does not belong to a cluster, the data is predicted as target class. The proposed method is evaluated and demonstrated using the KEEL dataset. This paper has been published in the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing.
