Hierarchical Text Classification NLP Tools

Tools and methods for classifying text into hierarchical label structures with parent-child relationships. Includes attention mechanisms, reinforcement learning, and hierarchy-aware loss functions for multi-level classification. Does NOT include flat multi-label classification, weakly-supervised methods without explicit hierarchy modeling, or general text classification without hierarchical structure.

There are 46 hierarchical text classification tools tracked. 2 score above 50 (established tier). The highest-rated is kk7nc/HDLTex at 58/100 with 278 stars.
