چکیده
 Manifold-based semi-supervised classification has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Existing methods exploit the Euclidean distance for approximating the distances between data points on manifolds and applying the smoothness assumption. This approximation is not correct for the point cloud sampled from intersecting manifolds and makes errors in the label propagation. In this paper, a novel algorithm for semi-supervised classification on intersecting manifolds is proposed that is based on the distinction between interior and non-interior points of manifolds; the proposed method utilizes the most confidence connections in the graph of representing manifolds by modifying the weight of edges of the graph of representing manifolds for propagating the labels. Compared to some
recent multi-manifold semi-supervised classifiers, the proposed method has not these restrictive assumptions:knowing the intrinsic dimensions of manifolds, a large number of unlabeled points to estimate the underlying
manifolds and similar properties for neighbors of all data points. Some experiments have been conducted in order to show that it verifies the improvement of the classification accuracy on a number of artificial and real benchmark data sets in comparison with other methods.
