The Value of Agreement, a New Boosting Algorithm
We present a new generalization bound where the use of unlabeled examples results in a better ratio between training-set size and the resulting classifier’s quality and thus red...

Improving Text Classification by Web Corpora
A major difficulty of supervised approaches for text classification is that they require a great number of training instances in order to construct an accurate classifier. This pap...

Learning classifiers from only positive and unlabeled data
The input to an algorithm that learns a binary classifier normally consists of two sets of examples, where one set consists of positive examples of the concept to be learned, and ...
