Multi-label learning (MLL) is a generalization of the binary and multi-category classification problems and deals with tagging a data instance with several possible class labels simultaneously [1]. Each of the assigned labels conveys a specific semantic relationship with the multi-label data instance [2, 3]. Multi-label learning has continued to receive a lot of research interest due to its practical application in many real-world problems such as recommender systems [4], image annotation [5], and text classification [6].

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
1 leaderboard table shown for this task, 1 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.
| Dataset | Best model (first row in archive order) | Paper | Code | Syntology | Compare |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| COCO 2014 (1 row) | SADCL | Semantic-Aware Dual Contrastive Learning for Multi-label Image... | code | — | Compare |
Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
