* Multi-Output Prediction (Betreuer: Quay Au)

The general learning task of predicting multiple targets, which could be real-valued, binary, ordinal, categorical or even of mixed type is known as multi-output prediction. The general idea is to improve the accuracy of a predictor by making use of the statistical dependencies among the output variables. Methods, which transform the multi-output prediction problem into single-output prediction problems, so that ordinary classification and regression algorithms can be applied, shall be implemented in the machine learning R package mlr. The evaluation of multi-output prediction problems, is inherently a challenging task and shall be worked out in this thesis.
