Graph-Based Semi-Supervised Learning as a Generative Model

Abstract

This paper proposes and develops a new graph-based semi-supervised learning method. Different from previous graph-based methods that are based on discriminative models, our method is essentially a generative model in that the class conditional probabilities are estimated by graph propagation and the class priors are estimated by linear regression. Experimental results on various datasets show that the proposed method is superior to existing graph-based semi-supervised learning methods, especially when the labeled subset alone proves insufficient to estimate meaningful class priors.
