Recent Deep Semi-supervised Learning Approaches and Related Works
It reviews existing methods for researchers in machine learning, but is incremental as it does not propose new techniques.
This paper provides an overview of recent semi-supervised learning approaches, focusing on methods that use deep neural networks to address the need for large labeled datasets by leveraging unlabeled data.
This work proposes an overview of the recent semi-supervised learning approaches and related works. Despite the remarkable success of neural networks in various applications, there exist a few formidable constraints, including the need for a large amount of labeled data. Therefore, semi-supervised learning, which is a learning scheme in which scarce labels and a larger amount of unlabeled data are utilized to train models (e.g., deep neural networks), is getting more important. Based on the key assumptions of semi-supervised learning, which are the manifold assumption, cluster assumption, and continuity assumption, the work reviews the recent semi-supervised learning approaches. In particular, the methods in regard to using deep neural networks in a semi-supervised learning setting are primarily discussed. In addition, the existing works are first classified based on the underlying idea and explained, then the holistic approaches that unify the aforementioned ideas are detailed.
