PG-Learn
Task-Driven Graph Learning for Semi-Supervised Classification
PG-Learn (Parallel Graph Learning) offers a new way of doing graph-based semi-supervised classification by combining graph construction and label inference in a loop to enable supervised hyper-parameter tuning.
PG-Learn infers the edge weights towards the best performance of a specific classification task. To this end, PG-Learn optimizes a learning-to-rank validation loss function with a gradient-based, parallel, and resource-adaptive scheme.
PG-Learn is proved to outperform a variety of existing graph construction methods in accuracy (per fixed time budget for hyperparameter tuning), and scales more effectively to high dimensional, potentially noisy feature space.
