Résumé

With the progress of generative neural models, Hierarchical Text Classification (HTC) can be cast as a generative task. In this case, given an input text, the model generates the sequence of predicted class labels taken from a label tree of arbitrary width and depth. Treating HTC as a generative task introduces multiple modeling choices. These choices vary from choosing the order for visiting the class tree and therefore defining the order of generating tokens, choosing either to constrain the decoding to labels that respect the previous level predictions, up to choosing the pre-trained Language Model itself. Each HTC model therefore differs from the others from an architectural standpoint, but also from the modeling choices that were made. Prior contributions lack transparent modeling choices and open implementations, hindering the assessment of whether model performance stems from architectural or modeling decisions. For these reasons, we propose with this paper an analysis of the impact of different modeling choices along with common model errors and successes for this task. This analysis is based on an open framework coming along this paper that can facilitate the development of future contributions in the field by providing datasets, metrics, error analysis toolkit and the capability to readily test various modeling choices for one given model.
