Selecting Informative Universum Sample for Semi-Supervised Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Universum sample, which is defined as the sample that doesn’t belong to any of the classes the learning task concerns, has been proved to be helpful in both supervised and semi-supervised settings. The former works treat the Universum samples equally. Our research found that not all the Universum samples are helpful, and we propose a method to pick the informative ones, i.e., inbetween Universum samples. We also set up a new semi-supervised framework to incorporate the in-between Universum samples. Empirical experiments show that our method outperforms the former ones.

Semi-Supervised Classification with Universum
The Universum data, defined as a collection of ”nonexamples” that do not belong to any class of interest, have been shown to encode some prior knowledge by representing meaningful concepts in the same domain as the problem at hand. In this paper, we address a novel semi-supervised classification problem, called semi-supervised Universum, that can simultaneously utilize the labeled data, unlabel...

متن کاملImproving Learning-from-Crowds through Expert Validation
Although several effective learning-from-crowd methods have been developed to infer correct labels from noisy crowdsourced labels, a method for postprocessed expert validation is still needed. This paper introduces a semi-supervised learning algorithm that is capable of selecting the most informative instances and maximizing the influence of expert labels. Specifically, we have developed a comp...
