semi supervised learning Want to predict Y from features X f X Y have some labeled data L lots of unlabeled data U Co training assumption X is very expressive X X1 X2 can learn g1 X1 g2 X2 Y Y 2 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training Algorithm Blum Mitchell 99 3 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Understanding Co Training A simple setting Suppose X1 and X2 are discrete X1 X2 N No label noise Without unlabeled data how hard is it to learn g1 or g2 4 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training in simple setting Iteration 0 5 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training in simple setting Iteration 1 6 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training in simple setting after convergence 7 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training in simple setting Connected components Suppose infinite unlabeled data Co training must have at least one labeled example in each connected component of L U graph What s probability of making an error For k Connected components how much labeled data 8 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin How much unlabeled data 9 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Co Training theory Want to predict Y from features X f X Y Co training assumption X is very expressive X X1 X2 want to learn g1 X1 Y and g2 X2 Y Assumption g1 g2 x g1 x1 f x g2 x2 f x One co training result Blum Mitchell 99 If X1 X2 Y g1 g2 are PAC learnable from noisy data and thus f Then f is PAC learnable from weak initial classifier plus unlabeled data 10 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin What you need to know about cotraining Unlabeled data can help supervised learning a lot when there are mostly independent redundant features One theoretical result If X1 X2 Y and g1 g2 are PAC learnable from noisy data and thus f Then f is PAC learnable from weak initial classifier plus unlabeled data Disagreement between g1 and g2 provides bound on error of final classifier

University April 23rd 2007 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin 13 Semi supervised learning and discriminative models We have seen semi supervised learning for generative models EM What can we do for discriminative models Not regular EM we can t compute P x But there are discriminative versions of EM Co Training Many other tricks let s see an example 14 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Linear classifiers

2007 Carlos Guestrin What s the difference between transductive learning and semi supervised learning Not much and A lot Semi supervised learning labeled and unlabeled data learn w use w on test data Transductive learning same algorithms for labeled and unlabeled data but unlabeled data is test data You are learning on the test data OK because you never look at the labels of the test data can get better classification but be very very very very very very very very careful never use test data prediction accuracy to tune parameters select kernels etc 20 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Adding slack

unlabeled data based on classifier prediction slowly increase keep on labeling unlabeled data and re running classifier 24 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Some results classifying news articles from

supervised learning Optimization is hard Integer program There are simple heuristic solution methods that work well here 26 2005 2007 Carlos Guestrin Dimensionality reduction Machine Learning 10701

Dimensionality reduction represent data with fewer dimensions easier learning fewer parameters visualization hard to visualize more than 3D or 4D discover intrinsic dimensionality of data high
