Abstract
A computerized system and method for large scale semi-supervised learning is provided. The training set comprises a mix of labeled and unlabeled examples. Linear classifiers based on support vector machine principles are built using these examples. One embodiment uses a fast design of a linear transductive support vector machine using multiple switching. In another embodiment, mean field annealing is used to form a very effective semi-supervised support vector machine. For both these embodiments the finite Newton method is used as the base method for achieving fast training.
