The construction of Iconclass of parts makes it particularly interesting (and challenging) to tackle via Machine Learning. Whilst one could tackle this dataset as a (multi) label image classification problem, this is only one way of tackling it. For example in the above label `castle` giving the model the 'freedom' to predict only a partial label could result in the prediction `41A` i.e. housing. Whilst a very particular form of housing this prediction for 'castle' is not 'wrong' so much as it is not as precise as a human cataloguer may provide.
