Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of combining the labeled and unlabeled examples to boost the performance of semi-supervised learning. We first define the label information graph, and then incorporate it with neighborhood graph. We propose a new regularized semi-supervised classification algorithm, in which the regularization term is based on this modified Graph Laplacian. According to the properties of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), the representer theorem holds, so the solution can be expressed by the Mercer kernel of examples. Experimental results show that our algorithm can use unlabeled and labeled examples effectively.
