Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The goal of semi-supervised learning is to incorporate unlabeled instances as well as labeled ones for improving classification performance to unseen data.
Semi-supervised SVM
(S3VM) is an SVM-like classification algorithm for semi-supervised learning scenario.
The problem of learning S3VM is formulated either as a hard combinatorial optimization problem or a non-convex optimization problem.
Since the global optimal solution of ${\rm S^3VM}$ is difficult to find except for small problems,
the practical goal of S3VM studies is to develop an algorithm that can find good local optimal solutions using heuristic search techniques such as deterministic annealing.
In this report we introduce a parametric programming approach to
S3VM.
The main contribution of this paper is to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions of a local optimal solution of S3VM,
and to develop an algorithm that can compute a path of local optimal solutions that always satisfy the local optimality conditions
when the effect of unlabeled instances are gradually increased.
The proposed algorithm empirically produces better local optimal solutions possibly because homotopy approach offers similar advantage as deterministic annealing with infinitely small steps.
Moreover, our approach allows stable
and efficient model selection for controlling the influence of unlabeled instances .
We experimentally demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.
