Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an incremental max-margin model for semi-supervised multi-classification learning, where efficient and accuracy need to be considered. Three notable properties are introduced: (1) the model predicts a label for unlabeled sample instance in runtime, and trained with the complete sample instance, while unlabeled and labeled sample instances are unified in our objective function; (2) since the objective function of our model is convex, we can design efficient online algorithm with logarithmic regret, it achieve accurate solution with very little overhead; (3) our model is max-margin machine, which provide our model with considerable generalization capability for future unseen data. Our approach captures essences of the exploration-exploitation tradeoff.
