Graph Based Constrained Semi-Supervised Learning Framework via Label Propagation over Adaptive Neighborhood

A new graph based constrained semi-supervised learning (G-CSSL) framework is proposed. Pairwise constraints (PC) are used to specify the types (intra- or inter-class) of points with labels. Since the number of labeled data is typically small in SSL setting, the core idea of this framework is to create and enrich the PC sets using the propagated soft labels from both labeled and unlabeled data by s...
