Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system having a processor and a memory. The memory comprises instructions which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a training system for finding an optimal surface for hierarchical classification task on an ontology. The training system receives a training data set and a hierarchical classification ontology data structure. The training system generates a neural network architecture based on the training data set and the hierarchical classification ontology data structure. The neural network architecture comprises an indicative layer, a parent tier (PT) output and a lower leaf tier (LLT) output. The training system trains the neural network architecture to classify the training data set to leaf nodes at the LLT output and parent nodes at the PT output. The indicative layer in the neural network architecture determines a surface that passes through each path from a root to a leaf node in the hierarchical ontology data structure. The training system trains a classifier model for a cognitive system using the surface and the training data set.
