Semi-supervised learning via deep label propagation

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a system may access a graph data structure that includes nodes and connections between the nodes. Each node may be associated with a user; each connection between two nodes may represent a relationship between the associated users; and each node may be either labeled or unlabeled with respect to a label type. For each labeled node, a label of the label type of that labeled node may be propagated to other nodes through the connections. For each node, the system may store a label distribution information associated with the label type based on the propagated labels reaching the node. The system may train a machine-learning model using the labels and the label distribution information of a set of the labeled nodes. A predicted label for each unlabeled node may be generated using the model and the label distribution information of the unlabeled node.
