Semi-supervised Classification of Human Actions Based on Neural Networks
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for Single-hidden Layer Feed forward Neural networks training which is able to exploit information coming from both labeled and unlabeled data for semi-supervised action classification. We extend the Extreme Learning Machine algorithm by incorporating appropriate regularization terms describing geometric properties and discrimination criteria of the training data representation in the ELM space to this end. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on human action recognition, where its performance is compared with that of other (semi-)supervised classification schemes. Experimental results on two publicly available action recognition databases denote its effectiveness.
