Abstract
En 中文
In semi-supervised learning scenarios, the presence of limited labeled data and abundant unlabeled samples poses significant challenges to model robustness and generalization. Although the semi-supervised broad learning system (SSBLS) effectively exploits manifold structure through graph Laplacian regularization, its optimization is typically formulated under the mean square error (MSE) criterion, which is sensitive to noise and outliers. To address this limitation, this paper introduces the maximum mixture correntropy criterion (MMC) into the SSBLS framework and proposes a model termed M2C-SSBLS. By replacing the conventional MSE loss with a mixture correntropy-based objective, the proposed method enhances robustness against non-Gaussian noise and abnormal samples while preserving the computational efficiency and analytical solution property of the BLS. Furthermore, to improve representation diversity and reduce model variance, a multi-view ensemble extension, named EC-SSBLS, is proposed. This method constructs multiple feature views through a random feature subspace strategy, and independently trains an M2C-SSBLS base learner on each subspace. Finally, the predicted results of each view are fused through a voting mechanism. Experiments on benchmark UCI datasets under noise-free, 10% and 20% label noise settings demonstrate that the proposed M2C-SSBLS consistently outperforms conventional SSBLS and other advanced semi-supervised learning approaches. The ensemble extension EC-SSBLS further enhances performance, particularly in noisy environments, validating the effectiveness of combining MMC-based optimization with multi-view ensemble learning.
