Abstract

To deal with the problem of sensitivity to noise in semi-supervised learning for biometrics, this paper proposes a robust Gaussian-Laplacian Regularized (GLR) framework based on maximum correntropy criterion (MCC), called GLR-MCC, along with its convergence analysis. The half quadratic (HQ) optimization technique is used to simplify the correntropy optimization problem to a standard semi-supervised problem in each iteration. Experimental results show that the proposed GRL-MCC can effectively improve the semi-supervised learning performance and is robust to mislabeling noise and occlusion as compared with GLR.
