In the field of machine learning  semi-supervised learning (SSL) occupies the middle ground  between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised learning (in which no label data are given). Interest in SSL has increased in recent years  particularly because of application domains in which unlabeled data are plentiful  such as images  text  and bioinformatics. This first comprehensive overview of SSL presents state-of-the-art algorithms  a taxonomy of the field  selected applications  benchmark experiments  and perspectives on ongoing and future research.Semi-Supervised Learning first presents the key assumptions and ideas underlying the field: smoothness  cluster or low-density separation  manifold structure  and transduction. The core of the book is the presentation of SSL methods  organized according to algorithmic strategies. After an examination of generative models  the book describes algorithms that implement the low-density separation assumption  graph-based methods  and algorithms that perform two-step learning. The book then discusses SSL applications and offers guidelines for SSL practitioners by analyzing the results of extensive benchmark experiments. Finally  the book looks at interesting directions for SSL research. The book closes with a discussion of the relationship between semi-supervised learning and transduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929285656629,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262514125","price":248.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262514125.jpg?v=1794196260","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/semisupervised-learning-adaptive-computation-and-machine-learning-series-9780262514125","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
