Abstract: Semi-supervised learning models for multiview data are important in image classification tasks, since heterogeneous features are easy to obtain and semi-supervised schemes are economical and effective. To model the view importance, conventional graph-based multiview learning models learn a linear combination of views while assuming a priori weights distribution. In this paper, we present a novel structural regularized semi-supervised model for multiview data, termed Adaptive MUltiview SEmi-supervised model (AMUSE). Our new model learns weights from a priori graph structure, which is more reasonable than weight regularization. Theoretical analysis reveals the significant difference between AMUSE and the prior arts. An efficient optimization algorithm is provided to solve the new model. Experimental results on six real-world data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the structural regularized weights learning scheme.
