The least square support vector machine was applied to semi-supervised learning and resulted in a new learning algorithm, a semi-supervised least square support vector machine (SLS-SVM). The algorithm trained both labeled and unlabeled examples with SLS-SVM, overcoming the limitation of slow learning and low efficiency in other semi-supervised SVM. The algorithm reduced the iteration number needed to reach convergence by using a region labeling rule. A detailed mathematical description of the SLS-SVM algorithm was presented. Experiments on artificial and real datasets showed that the semi-supervised algorithm on SLS-SVM greatly reduces training time, speeds up the training process, and has better generalization performance.
