Implemented an optimal thresholding strategy for each label class based on prediction probabilities.

Main Results:

CNN-THOP demonstrated significant improvements in average precision across MIML, COREL5K, and MSRC datasets (27%-33% increase compared to MBRM).
Achieved a 3% increase in average recall rate on COREL5K and MSRC datasets compared to E2E-DCNN.
Reached a complete matching degree of 64.8% on the MIML dataset, indicating superior annotation precision.

Conclusions:

CNN-THOP effectively resolves overlabeling and downlabeling issues in multilabel image annotation.
The proposed model offers superior performance compared to existing methods like MBRM and E2E-DCNN.
CNN-THOP provides a robust and precise solution for automated image annotation tasks.
