A curated list of awesome Semi-Supervised Learning resources. Inspired by awesome-deep-vision, awesome-deep-learning-papers, and awesome-self-supervised-learning.
It is a special form of classification. Traditional classifiers use only labeled data (feature / label pairs) to train. Labeled instances however are often difficult, expensive, or time consuming to obtain, as they require the efforts of experienced human annotators. Meanwhile unlabeled data may be relatively easy to collect, but there has been few ways to use them. Semi-supervised learning addresses this problem by using large amount of unlabeled data, together with the labeled data, to build better classifiers. Because semi-supervised learning requires less human effort and gives higher accuracy, it is of great interest both in theory and in practice.
Many. Some often-used methods include: EM with generative mixture models, self-training, consistency regularization, co-training, transductive support vector machines, and graph-based methods. And with the advent of deep learning, the majority of these methods were adapted and intergrated into existing deep learning frameworks to take advantage of unlabled data.
Semi-supervised learning methods use unlabeled data to either modify or reprioritize hypotheses obtained from labeled data alone. Although not all methods are probabilistic, it is easier to look at methods that represent hypotheses by p(y|x), and unlabeled data by p(x). Generative models have common parameters for the joint distribution p(x,y). It is easy to see that p(x) influences p(y|x). Mixture models with EM is in this category, and to some extent self-training. Many other methods are discriminative, including transductive SVM, Gaussian processes, information regularization, graph-based and the majority of deep learning based methods. Original discriminative training cannot be used for semi-supervised learning, since p(y|x) is estimated ignoring p(x). To solve the problem, p(x) dependent terms are often brought into the objective function, which amounts to assuming p(y|x) and p(x) share parameters
