New multiclass classification objectives evaluated for performance under noise

Researchers have developed and evaluated three novel multiclass classification objectives: a class-aware quadratic Bregman score (CAPM), a strongly convex generator with constrained log-cosh ridges (HPG), and an HPG objective with an annealed probability-margin penalty (APMS). The study provides theoretical analysis, including conditional-regret and curvature bounds for CAPM and HPG, and exact penalty-range bounds for APMS. Empirical evaluations on datasets like Digits and Wisconsin breast cancer, under various noise and imbalance conditions, indicate that these methods perform comparably to cross-entropy on clean data and show marginal gains in some noisy-label scenarios, though no general superiority was established.

    Structured Proper Loss Geometries for Multiclass Classification: Theory and Controlled Empirical Evaluation

    arXiv:2606.29471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Strictly proper scoring rules identify the true conditional class distribution at population level, but their curvature can alter optimization and finite-sample behavior. We study three multiclass objectives: a class-aware quadratic…
