arXiv:2605.28767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many real-world classification tasks require predicting multiple labels per instance, necessitating the optimization of complex evaluation metrics such as the $F$-measure and Jaccard index. While the Empirical Utility Maximization (EUM) framework is natural for these population-level metrics, existing theoretical results are largely limited to asymptotic Bayes-consistency. In this paper, we develop principled learning algorithms for optimizing a broad class of generalized metrics within the EUM framework, grounded in the stronger notion of $H$-co
The increasing complexity of real-world AI applications necessitates more principled and efficient methods for optimizing performance beyond simple accuracy metrics.
This research provides foundational algorithms for improving multi-label learning systems, crucial for areas like medical diagnosis, natural language processing, and advanced AI agents.
The ability to optimize complex evaluation metrics more robustly and theoretically soundly will lead to more reliable and effective AI models in multi-label scenarios.
