Abstract

This research shows that inductive bias provides a valuable method to effectively tackle semi-supervised classification problems. In the learning theory framework, inductive bias provides a powerful tool, and allows one to shape the generalization properties of a learning machine. The paper formalizes semisupervised learning as a supervised learning problem biased by an unsupervised reference solution. The resulting semi-supervised classification framework can apply any clustering algorithm to derive the reference function, thus ensuring maximum flexibility. In this context, the paper derives the biased version of Extreme Learning Machine (br-ELM). The experimental session involves several real world problems and proves the reliability of the semi-supervised classification scheme.
