Techniques for Exploiting Unlabeled Data

In this modern age we are faced with the problem of
a deluge of information. Information is accumulating
at a faster rate than we can process it mainly due
to technological advances that allow us to store and
process more data than ever before. Thus the
question of developing techniques to deal with this
information explosion becomes highly significant.
One such family of techniques are those which aim to
exploit unlabeled data - precisely that data which
is most readily available - and use it to improve
performance in machine learning algorithms. This
book presents several techniques which reflect the
state of the art understanding of this emerging area
of research.
