Semi supervised classification which is a method using labeled and unlabeled data has considerable attention in recent years. Among various methods the graph based manifold regularization is proved to be an attractive method. Least squares support vector machine is gaining a lot of popularities in analyzing nonlinear data. We propose a semi supervised classification algorithm using the least squares support vector machines. The proposed algorithm is based on the manifold regularization. In this paper we show that the proposed method can use unlabeled data efficiently.

In many practical machine learning and data mining applications, unlabeled data are inexpensive and easy to obtain. Semi-supervised learning try to use such data to improve prediction performance. In this paper, a semi-supervised regression method, semi-supervised kernel ridge regression estimation, is proposed on the basis of kernel ridge regression model. The proposed method does not require a pilot estimation of the label of the unlabeled data. This means that the proposed method has good advantages including less number of parameters, easy computing and good generalization ability. Experiments show that the proposed method can effectively utilize unlabeled data to improve regression estimation.
