原文摘要

Hierarchical multi-label text classification (HMTC) requires models to capture both structural dependencies among labels and the fine-grained semantics of labels at different hierarchy levels. Existing methods often model hierarchy through prediction constraints or representations of individual labels and local relations. Structural and semantic supervision, however, are usually formulated separately. We instead use complete root-to-node label paths as a shared unit for both. Our framework introduces two auxiliary training objectives while retaining a standard multi-label classifier at inference. PathSimNCE aligns document representations with hierarchical paths using hierarchy-aware contrastive targets. These targets provide graded supervision for structurally related paths while preserving explicit supervision for the ground-truth paths. The complementary semantic objective uses LLM-generated, document-conditioned descriptions of the same positive paths. It thereby provides context-specific label semantics beyond static label representations. Experiments on three benchmarks show consistent improvements: structural alignment is particularly beneficial in deeper hierarchies, while semantic alignment provides additional gains for fine-grained labels.
