Comparative evaluation of four multi‐label classification algorithms in classifying learning objects

Abstract

With the increasing number of learning objects (LOs), the possibility of their fast and effective retrieving and storing has become a more critical issue. The classification of LOs enables users to search for, access, and reuse them in an effective and efficient way. In this article, the multi‐label learning approach is represented for classifying and ranking multi‐labeled LOs, whereas each LO might be associated with multiple labels as opposed to a single‐label approach. A comprehensive overview of the common fundamental multi‐label classification algorithms and metrics will be discussed. In this article, a new multi‐labeled LOs dataset will be created and extracted from ARIADNE Learning Object Repository. We experimentally train four effective multi‐label classifiers on the created LOs dataset and then, assess their performance based on the results of 16 evaluation metrics. The result of this article will answer the question of; what is the best multi‐label classification algorithm for classifying multi‐labeled LOs? © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Potential utility of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the diagnosis and the prognosis of non-hodgkin lymphoma

“…Support vector machine (SVM), Knearest neighbors (KNN), and artificial neural network (ANN) and decision tree are different types of classification techniques. 14 In this work, SVM was used.…”

A computational investigation of learning behaviors in MOOCs

“…The procedure follows a simple way to cluster a given data set through a center number of groups (assume k clusters) fixed apriori. Classification model: Support vector machine . With the increasing number of enrollments, the demand to identify, analyze, and classify the activities in MOOCs has arisen and become a critical issue . Some classical classification models in educational domains include support vector machine, neural networks, decision trees, logistic regression, and random forest.…”

Enhancing Learning Object Analysis through Fuzzy C-Means Clustering and Web Mining Methods

“…More specifically, the model provides a methodology that shows the task of multi-label mapping of LOs into different kinds of inquiries. In Aldrees & Chikh [22], researchers identify learning items by comparing and contrasting four multi-label classification systems. Carrillo et al [23] investigate hierarchical multi-label categorization in the context of recommender systems.…”
