Abstract
This study develops, implements, and evaluates a multilabel text classification algorithm called the multilabel categorical K-nearest neighbor (ML-CKNN). The proposed algorithm is designed to automatically identify 25 types of risk factors with specific meanings reported in Section 1A of SEC form 10-K. The idea of ML-CKNN is to compute a categorical similarity score for each label by the K-nearest neighbors in that category. ML-CKNN is tailored to achieve the goal of extracting risk factors from 10Ks. The proposed algorithm can perfectly classify 74.94% of risk factors and 98.75% of labels. Moreover, ML-CKNN is empirically shown to outperform ML-KNN and other multilabel algorithms. The extracted risk factors could be valuable to empirical studies in accounting or finance.

Effective multi-label active learning for text classification
KDD '09: Proceedings of the 15th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data miningLabeling text data is quite time-consuming but essential for automatic text classification.
