Description
Summary:Graph-based semi-supervised classification heavily depends on a well-structured graph. In this paper, we investigate a mixture graph and propose a method called semi-supervised classification based on mixture graph (SSCMG). SSCMG first constructs multiple k nearest neighborhood (kNN) graphs in different random subspaces of the samples. Then, it combines these graphs into a mixture graph and incorporates this graph into a graph-based semi-supervised classifier. SSCMG can preserve the local structure of samples in subspaces and is less affected by noisy and redundant features. Empirical study on facial images classification shows that SSCMG not only has better recognition performance, but also is more robust to input parameters than other related methods.
