Description

Hello community!

PATE's data-dependent analysis is based on teacher predictions. Is it possible to extend PATE to multi-label tasks such as part-of-speech tagging or named entity recognition, where the length of labels varies with sentence length? Fixed length sentences would also be fine.

Currently, each teacher outputs a nested list (fixed length sentences would also be fine).

Help or a hint that PATE is only possible for single-label classification would help me a lot.

Regards,
Stefan

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing PATE accountant entry point and how it handles teacher predictions. Compare those assumptions with nested, variable-length outputs for multi-label classification, including the fixed-length case mentioned in the issue. Done means establishing whether support is feasible and documenting the resulting behavior or limitation.
