Title
A continuation method for semi-supervised SVMs
Abstract
Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines (S3VMs) are an appealing method for us- ing unlabeled data in classiflcation: their ob- jective function favors decision boundaries which do not cut clusters. However their main problem is that the optimization prob- lem is non-convex and has many local min- ima, which often results in suboptimal per- formances. In this paper we propose to use a global optimization technique known as con- tinuation to alleviate this problem. Com- pared to other algorithms minimizing the same objective function, our continuation method often leads to lower test errors.
