In problems where very little labeled data is available, the classical\u00a0Laplacian regularization gives very poor results. This can be explained through its PDE continuum limit, which is an ill-posed elliptic equation. Much work recently has been focused on designing graph-based learning methods with well-posed continuum limits, including the p-Laplacian, higher order Laplacians, re-weighted Laplacians, and Poisson equations.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, we will survey this literature, and present our recent work on using Poisson equations for semi-supervised learning. We will present theoretical results which establish that learning with Poisson equations is provably well-posed at arbitrarily low label rates, and experimental results showing that it outperforms existing graph-based semi-supervised learning methods on challenging data sets. We will also present some recent work on applications of Poisson learning to graph-based active learning, where the goal is to select a training set with the most informative examples, often in a sequential online setting starting at extremely low label rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zoom link:<\/strong>
