This chapter discusses the difference between transductive inference and semi-supervised learning. It argues that transductive inference captures the intrinsic properties of the mechanism for extracting additional information from the unlabeled data. It also shows an important role of transduction for creating noninductive models of inference. In transductive inference the goal is to classify the given u test vectors of interest while in semi-supervised learning the goal is to find the function that minimizes the functional. Semi-supervised learning can be seen as being related to a particular setting of transductive learning. From a conceptual point of view, transductive inference contains important elements of a new philosophy of inference and this is the subject of this discussion.Less
