Semi-supervised Multi-view Ensemble Learning with Consensus

Abstract

This paper is devoted to enchasing existing multi-view semi-supervised ensemble learning algorithms by introducing a cross-view consensus. A detailed overview of three state-of-the-art methods is given, with relevant steps of the training highlighted. A problem statement is formed to introduce both semi-supervised framework and consider the semi-supervised learning in the context of optimization problem. A novel multi-view semi-supervised ensemble learning algorithm called multi-view semi-supervised cross consensus (MSSXC) is introduced. The algorithm is tested against 5 synthetic datasets designed for semi-supervised learning challenges. The results indicate improvement in the average accuracy of up to 10% in comparison to existing methods, especially in low-volume, high density scenarios.
