Description:
In problems where labeled data are scarce, semisupervised learning (SSL) techniques are an attractive framework that can exploit both labeled and unlabeled data. These approaches typically rely on a smoothness assumption such that examples that are similar in input space should also be similar in label space. In many domains, such as remotely sensed hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, the data violate this assumption. In response, we propose a general method by which a neighborhood graph used in SSL is learned using binary classifiers that are trained to predict whether a pair of pixels shares the same label. Working within the framework of semisupervised neural networks (SSNNs), we show that our approach improves on the performance of the SSNN on two HSI data sets.
