Abstract

In order to reduce redundant information in data classification and improve classification accuracy, a novel approach based on nonnegative matrix factorization and harmonic functions (NMF–HF) is proposed for semi-supervised learning. Firstly, we extract the feature data from the original data by nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and then classify the original data by harmonic functions (HF) on the basis of the feature data. Empirical results show that NMF–HF can effectively reduce the redundant information and improve the classification accuracy compared with some state-of-the-art approaches.
