SelfTrainingClassifier
(base_estimator, threshold=0.75, criterion='threshold', k_best=10, max_iter=10, verbose=False)[source]¶ Self-training classifier.
This class allows a given supervised classifier to function as a semi-supervised classifier, allowing it to learn from unlabeled data. It does this by iteratively predicting pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and adding them to the training set.
The classifier will continue iterating until either max_iter is reached, or no pseudo-labels were added to the training set in the previous iteration.

- Parameters
- base_estimatorestimator object
An estimator object implementing
fit
andpredict_proba
. Invoking thefit
method will fit a clone of the passed estimator, which will be stored in thebase_estimator_
attribute.- thresholdfloat, default=0.75
The decision threshold for use with
criterion='threshold'
. Should be in [0, 1). When using the ‘threshold’ criterion, a well calibrated classifier should be used.- criterion{‘threshold’, ‘k_best’}, default=’threshold’
The selection criterion used to select which labels to add to the training set. If ‘threshold’, pseudo-labels with prediction probabilities above
threshold
are added to the dataset. If ‘k_best’, thek_best
pseudo-labels with highest prediction probabilities are added to the dataset. When using the ‘threshold’ criterion, a well calibrated classifier should be used.- k_bestint, default=10
The amount of samples to add in each iteration. Only used when
criterion
is k_best’.- max_iterint or None, default=10
Maximum number of iterations allowed. Should be greater than or equal to 0. If it is
None
, the classifier will continue to predict labels until no new pseudo-labels are added, or all unlabeled samples have been labeled.- verbosebool, default=False
Enable verbose output.
- Attributes
- base_estimator_estimator object
The fitted estimator.
- classes_ndarray or list of ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
Class labels for each output. (Taken from the trained
base_estimator_
).- transduction_ndarray of shape (n_samples,)
The labels used for the final fit of the classifier, including pseudo-labels added during fit.
- labeled_iter_ndarray of shape (n_samples,)
The iteration in which each sample was labeled. When a sample has iteration 0, the sample was already labeled in the original dataset. When a sample has iteration -1, the sample was not labeled in any iteration.
- n_iter_int
The number of rounds of self-training, that is the number of times the base estimator is fitted on relabeled variants of the training set.
- termination_condition_{‘max_iter’, ‘no_change’, ‘all_labeled’}
The reason that fitting was stopped.
‘max_iter’:
n_iter_
reachedmax_iter
.‘no_change’: no new labels were predicted.
‘all_labeled’: all unlabeled samples were labeled before
max_iter
was reached.
