An improvement on learning with local and global consistency

A modified version for semi-supervised learning algorithm with local and global consistency was proposed in this paper. The new method adds the label information, and adopts the geodesic distance rather than Euclidean distance as the measure of the difference between two data points when conducting calculation. In addition we add class prior knowledge. It was found that the effect of class prior knowledge was different between under high label rate and low label rate. The experimental results show that the changes attain the satisfying classification performance better than the original algorithms.
