Abstract

Recently, integrating new knowledge sources such as pairwise constraints into various classification tasks with insufficient training data has been actively studied in machine learning. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised classification approach, called semi-supervised classification with enhanced spectral kernel, which can simultaneously handle both sparse labeled data and additional pairwise constraints together with unlabeled data. Specifically, we first design a non-parameter spectral kernel learning model based on the squared loss function. Then we develop an efficient semi-supervised classification algorithm which takes advantage of Laplacian spectral regularization: semi-supervised classification with enhanced spectral kernel under the squared loss (ESKS). Finally, we conduct many experiments on a variety of synthetic and real-world data sets to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ESKS algorithm.
