Robust Semi-Supervised Manifold Learning Algorithm for Classification

الملخص EN

In the recent years, manifold learning methods have been widely used in data classification to tackle the curse of dimensionality problem, since they can discover the potential intrinsic low-dimensional structures of the high-dimensional data.

Given partially labeled data, the semi-supervised manifold learning algorithms are proposed to predict the labels of the unlabeled points, taking into account label information.

However, these semi-supervised manifold learning algorithms are not robust against noisy points, especially when the labeled data contain noise.

In this paper, we propose a framework for robust semi-supervised manifold learning (RSSML) to address this problem.

The noisy levels of the labeled points are firstly predicted, and then a regularization term is constructed to reduce the impact of labeled points containing noise.

A new robust semi-supervised optimization model is proposed by adding the regularization term to the traditional semi-supervised optimization model.

Numerical experiments are given to show the improvement and efficiency of RSSML on noisy data sets.
