Résumé

The multi-label classi cation is a frequent task in pattern recognition, data mining and machine learning. When binary classi ers are not suited, an alternative consists in using a multiclass classi er that provides for each document a score per category and then in applying a thresholding strategy in order to select the set of categories which must be assigned to the document. The common thresholding strategies, such as RCut, PCut and SCut methods, need a training step to determine the value of the threshold. To overcome this limit, we propose in this article a new strategy, called MCut which automatically estimates a value for the threshold. This method, simple to implement, does not have to be trained and it does not need any parametrization. Experimentations performed on two textual corpora: XML Mining 2009 and RCV1 collections, show that the MCut strategy obtains good results compared to those provided by usual thresholding strategies.
