uncovering Shared Structures in Multiclass Classification

Introduction

In their paper Uncovering Shared Structures in Multiclass Classification, the authors Amit et al. wrote about how hidden structure can be utilized to improve the accuracy in multiclass classification. The uncovering of such hidden structure was accomplished by a mechanism that learns the underlying characteristics that are shared between the target classes. The benefits of finding such common characteristics was demonstrated in the context of large margin multiclass linear classifiers.
