Abstract 

  In Multi-Class Classification (MCC), each label is attached with a possibly high dimensional and large sized point-cloud. I will start from nonparametrically building a label embedding tree, and then deriving a label predictive graph. Both label embedding tree and predictive graph reveals the nature of information content of (MCC): Heterogeneity. This is the platform for Data-driven Intelligence (D.I.). D.I. is shown to achieve nearly perfect, if not perfect, predictions. We then argue that achieving perfect prediction is indeed the prerequisite of all data analysis in general. Throughout our computational developments, data from PITCHf/x database is used. I will also mention how to scale our algorithmic paradigm in the setting of Extreme MCC involving with many hundreds or thousands of labels.

  At the end, if time allows, I will mention issues related to Multi-Label Classification (MLC) and Multiple Response problem in order to shed some lights on the future competition between D.I and A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).
