Multiview Machine Learning

Semi-supervised learning is concernedwith such learning scenarioswhere only a small portion of training data are labeled. In multiview settings, unlabeled data can be used to regularize the prediction functions, and thus to reduce the search space. In this chapter, we introduce two categories of multiview semi-supervised learning methods. The first one contains the co-training style methods, where the prediction functions from different views are trained through their own objective, and each prediction function is improved by the others. The second one contains the co-regularization style methods, where a single objective function exists for the prediction functions from different views to be trained simultaneously.
