🔬Data Science: Semi-supervised Learning (Definitions)

"machine learning technique that uses both labelled and unlabelled data for constructing the model." (Óscar Pérez & Manuel Sánchez-Montañés, "Class Prediction in Test Sets with Shifted Distributions", 2009)

"The set of learning algorithms in which the samples in training dataset are all unlabelled." (Jun Jiang & Horace H S Ip, "Active Learning with SVM, Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence", 2009) 

"Learning to label new data using both labeled training data plus unlabeled data." (Jesse Read & Albert Bifet, "Multi-Label Classification", 2014)

"A method of empirical concept learning from unlabeled data. The task is to build a model that finds groups of similar examples or that finds dependencies between attribute-value tuples." (Petr Berka, "Machine Learning", 2015)

"Combines the methodology of the supervised learning to process the labeled data with the unsupervised learning to compute the unlabeled data." (Nuno Pombo et al, "Machine Learning Approaches to Automated Medical Decision Support Systems", 2015)

"Estimation of the parameters of a model considering only un-labeled data and without the help of human experts." (Manuel Martín-Merino, "Semi-Supervised Dimension Reduction Techniques to Discover Term Relationships", 2015)

"In this category either the model is developed in such a way that either there are labels exist for all kind of observations or there is no label exist." (Neha Garg & Kamlesh Sharma, "Machine Learning in Text Analysis", 2020)

"It is a machine learning algorithm in which the machine learns from both labeled and unlabeled instances to build a model for predicting the class of unlabeled instances." (Gunjan Ansari et al, "Natural Language Processing in Online Reviews", 2021)

"Semi-supervised learning aims at labeling a set of unlabelled data with the help of a small set of labeled data." (Hari K Kondaveeti et al, "Deep Learning Applications in Agriculture: The Role of Deep Learning in Smart Agriculture", 2021)

"The semi-supervised learning combines both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms." (M Govindarajan, "Big Data Mining Algorithms", 2021)
