Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review of an area of machine learning that deals with the use of unlabeled data in classification problems: state-of-the-art algorithms, a taxonomy of the field, applications, benchmark experiments, and directions for future research. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semi-supervised learning is a learning paradigm concerned with the study of how computers and natural systems such as humans learn in the presence of both labeled and unlabeled data. Traditionally, learning has been studied either in the unsupervised paradigm (e.g., clustering, outlier detection) where all the data are unlabeled, or in the supervised paradigm (e.g., classification, regression) where all the data are labeled. The goal of semi-supervised learning is to understand how combining labeled and unlabeled data may change the learning behavior, and design algorithms that take advantage of such a combination. Semi-supervised learning is of great interest in machine learning and data mining because it can use readily available unlabeled data to improve supervised learning tasks when the labeled data are scarce or expensive. Semi-supervised learning also shows potential as a quantitative tool to understand human category learning, where most of the input is self-evidently unlabeled. In this introductory book, we present some popular semi-supervised learning models, including self-training, mixture models, co-training and multiview learning, graph-based methods, and semi-supervised support vector machines. For each model, we discuss its basic mathematical formulation. The success of semi-supervised learning depends critically on some underlying assumptions. We emphasize the assumptions made by each model and give counterexamples when appropriate to demonstrate the limitations of the different models. In addition, we discuss semi-supervised learning for cognitive psychology. Finally, we give a computational learning theoretic perspective on semi-supervised learning, and we conclude the book with a brief discussion of open questions in the field.

Download or read book Learning with Partially Labeled and Interdependent Data written by Massih-Reza Amini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops two key machine learning principles: the semi-supervised paradigm and learning with interdependent data. It reveals new applications, primarily web related, that transgress the classical machine learning framework through learning with interdependent data. The book traces how the semi-supervised paradigm and the learning to rank paradigm emerged from new web applications, leading to a massive production of heterogeneous textual data. It explains how semi-supervised learning techniques are widely used, but only allow a limited analysis of the information content and thus do not meet the demands of many web-related tasks. Later chapters deal with the development of learning methods for ranking entities in a large collection with respect to precise information needed. In some cases, learning a ranking function can be reduced to learning a classification function over the pairs of examples. The book proves that this task can be efficiently tackled in a new framework: learning with interdependent data. Researchers and professionals in machine learning will find these new perspectives and solutions valuable. Learning with Partially Labeled and Interdependent Data is also useful for advanced-level students of computer science, particularly those focused on statistics and learning.
Download or read book Semi supervised Learning with Partially Labeled Examples written by Nam Hoang Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, machine learning community has been focused on supervised learning where the source of learning is fully labeled examples including both input features and corresponding output labels. As one way to alleviate the costly effort of collecting fully labeled examples, semi-supervised learning usually concentrates on utilizing a large amount of unlabeled examples together with a relatively small number of fully labeled examples to build better classifiers. Even though many semi-supervised learning algorithms are able to take advantage of unlabeled examples, there is a significant amount of effort in designing good models, features, kernels, and similarity functions. In this dissertation, we focus on semi-supervised learning with partially labeled examples. Partially labeled data can be viewed as a trade-off between fully labeled data and unlabeled data, which can provide additional discriminative information in comparison to unlabeled data and requires less human effort to collect than fully labeled data. In our setting of semi-supervised learning with partially labeled examples, the learning method is provided with a large amount of partially labeled examples and is usually augmented with a relatively small set of fully labeled examples. Our main goal is to integrate partially labeled examples into the conventional learning framework, i.e. to build a more accurate classifier. The dissertation addresses four different semi-supervised learning problems in presence of partially labeled examples. In addition, we summarize general principles for the semi-supervised learning with partially labeled examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. Later chapters focus on general model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted? This book will enable you to select and correctly apply the interpretation method that is most suitable for your machine learning project.

Download or read book Graph Based Semi Supervised Learning written by Amarnag Lipovetzky and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While labeled data is expensive to prepare, ever increasing amounts of unlabeled data is becoming widely available. In order to adapt to this phenomenon, several semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms, which learn from labeled as well as unlabeled data, have been developed. In a separate line of work, researchers have started to realize that graphs provide a natural way to represent data in a variety of domains. Graph-based SSL algorithms, which bring together these two lines of work, have been shown to outperform the state-of-the-art in many applications in speech processing, computer vision, natural language processing, and other areas of Artificial Intelligence. Recognizing this promising and emerging area of research, this synthesis lecture focuses on graph-based SSL algorithms (e.g., label propagation methods). Our hope is that after reading this book, the reader will walk away with the following: (1) an in-depth knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in graph-based SSL algorithms, and the ability to implement them; (2) the ability to decide on the suitability of graph-based SSL methods for a problem; and (3) familiarity with different applications where graph-based SSL methods have been successfully applied.

Download or read book Semisupervised Learning for Computational Linguistics written by Steven Abney and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid advancement in the theoretical understanding of statistical and machine learning methods for semisupervised learning has made it difficult for nonspecialists to keep up to date in the field. Providing a broad, accessible treatment of the theory as well as linguistic applications, Semisupervised Learning for Computational Linguistics offers self-contained coverage of semisupervised methods that includes background material on supervised and unsupervised learning. The book presents a brief history of semisupervised learning and its place in the spectrum of learning methods before moving on to discuss well-known natural language processing methods, such as self-training and co-training. It then centers on machine learning techniques, including the boundary-oriented methods of perceptrons, boosting, support vector machines (SVMs), and the null-category noise model. In addition, the book covers clustering, the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, related generative methods, and agreement methods. It concludes with the graph-based method of label propagation as well as a detailed discussion of spectral methods. Taking an intuitive approach to the material, this lucid book facilitates the application of semisupervised learning methods to natural language processing and provides the framework and motivation for a more systematic study of machine learning.
Download or read book Learning with Positive and Unlabeled Examples written by Nagarajan Natarajan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing partially supervised models is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of modern machine learning applications, where supervision often comes at a cost. In particular, there are several application domains where the available training data consists only of positive and unlabeled examples (no negative examples). One motivating application in computational biology is that of predicting genes linked to human genetic disorders, where we do not have access to "negative'' gene-disease associations but only a few positive associations. Existing methods for supervised learning (i.e. when the learner has access to both positive and negative examples) do not always work when the training data has examples from only one class. In this thesis, we study various machine learning problems with positive-unlabeled (PU) supervision and develop methods for the corresponding PU learning problems. We show that by reducing PU learning to learning with "one-sided label noise'', one can obtain a family of methods applicable to diverse problems including binary classification, multi-label learning, matrix completion and multiple-instance learning. The benefits of such a reduction are twofold: (1) We can essentially use the algorithms for supervised learning, albeit with appropriate modifications to account for partial supervision; (2) The resulting problem formulations are amenable to analysis, leading to strong theoretical guarantees for the performance of the proposed methods in PU learning tasks. Finally, we consider performance measures widely used in PU learning applications beyond the traditional measures such as classification accuracy, and extend some of the guarantees to general performance measures.
