High dimensional data that lies on or near a low dimensional manifold can be described by a collection of local linear models. Such a description, however, does not provide a glob...

We propose a novel technique for semi-supervised image annotation which introduces a harmonic regularizer based on the graph Laplacian of the data into the probabilistic semantic ...

In the past few years, some nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) or nonlinear manifold learning methods have aroused a great deal of interest in the machine learning communit...
Scarcity and infeasibility of human supervision for large
scale multi-class classification problems necessitates active
learning. Unfortunately, existing active learning methods

Previous work has shown that the difficulties in learning deep generative or discriminative models can be overcome by an initial unsupervised learning step that maps inputs to use...
