Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a multi-label image recognition framework for classifying digital images are provided. The provided multi-label image recognition framework utilizes an iterative, multiple analysis path approach to model training and image classification tasks. A first iteration of the multi-label image recognition framework generates confidence maps for each label, which are shared by the multiple analysis paths to update the confidence maps in subsequent iterations. The provided multi-label image recognition framework permits model training and image classification tasks to be performed more accurately than conventional single-label image recognition frameworks.
