A Selection Metric for semi-supervised learning based on neighborhood construction

作者:

Highlights:

• We show that the confidence-based selection metric may not exploit a set of informative unlabeled data to improve the classification performance.

• The new selection metric is proposed to semi-supervised self-training considering close data points to decision boundary.

• The proposed selection metric uses the agreement between classifier prediction and the proposed neighborhood construction.

• We propose a new sample selection from the unlabeled data using a neighborhood construction algorithm.

• The proposed neighborhood construction algorithm employs Apollonius circle and dense data points.
