Semi-supervised Learning with Weakly-Related Unlabeled Data : Towards Better Text Categorization

no code implementations NeurIPS 2008 Liu Yang, Rong Jin, Rahul Sukthankar

For empirical evaluation, we present a direct comparison with a number of state-of-the-art methods for inductive semi-supervised learning and text categorization; and we show that SSLW results in a significant improvement in categorization accuracy, equipped with a small training set and an unlabeled resource that is weakly related to the test beds."
