Multi-label classification is an extension of traditional classification problem in which each instance is associated with a set of labels. Recent research has shown that the ranking approach is an effective way to solve this problem. In the multi-labeled sets, classes are often related to each other. Some implicit constraint rules are existed among the labels. So we present a novel multi-label ranking algorithm inspired by the pairwise constraint rules mined from the training set to enhance the existing method. In this method, one-against-all decomposition technique is used firstly to divide a multi-label problem into binary class sub-problems. A rank list is generated by combining the probabilistic outputs of each binary Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Label constraint rules are learned by minimizing the ranking loss. Experimental performance evaluation on well-known multi-label benchmark datasets show that our method improves the classification accuracy efficiently, compared with some existed methods.
