Semi-Supervised Learning Using Kernel Estimation

A kernel type semi-supervised estimate is proposed. The proposed estimate is based on the penalized least squares loss and the principle of Gaussian Random Fields Model. As a result, we can estimate the label of new unlabeled data without re-computation of the algorithm that is different from the existing transductive semi-supervised learning. Also our estimate is viewed as a general form of Gaussian Random Fields Model. We give experimental evidence suggesting that our estimate is able to use unlabeled data effectively and yields good classification.
