Decision boundary of label propagation versus SVM on the Iris dataset

Comparison for decision boundary generated on iris dataset between Label Propagation and SVM.

This demonstrates Label Propagation learning a good boundary even with a small amount of labeled data.

Unlabeled points are colored white, Label Spreading 30% data, Label Spreading 50% data, Label Spreading 100% data, SVC with rbf kernel
