Description Gaussian Processes (GPs) are promising Bayesian methods for classification and regression problems. They have also been used for semi-supervised classification tasks. In this thesis, we propose new algorithms for solving semi-supervised binary classification problem using GP regression (GPR) models. The algorithms are closely related to semi-supervised classification based on support vector regression (SVR) and maximum margin clustering. The proposed algorithms are simple and easy to implement. Also, the hyper-parameters are estimated without resorting to expensive cross-validation technique. The algorithm based on sparse GPR model gives a sparse solution directly unlike the SVR based algorithm. Use of sparse GPR model helps in making the proposed algorithm scalable. The results of experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the efficacy of proposed sparse GP based algorithm for semi-supervised classification.
