Classification remains challenging when confronted with the existence of multi-view data with limited labels. In this paper, we propose an embedding regularizer learning scheme for multi-view semi-supervised classification (ERL-MVSC). The proposed framework integrates diversity, sparsity and consensus to dexterously manipulate multi-view data with limited labels. To encourage diversity, ERL-MVSC recasts a linear regression model to derive view-specific embedding regularizers and automatically determines their weights. This is able to tactfully incorporate complementary information of different views. To ensure sparsity, ERL-MVSC imposes l -norm on a fused embedding regularizer to exploit the sparse local structure of samples, thereby conveying valuable classification information and enhancing the robustness against noise/outliers. To enhance consensus, ERL-MVSC learns a shared predicted label matrix, which serves as the comment target of multi-view classification. With these techniques, we formulate ERL-MVSC as a joint optimization problem of an embedding regularizer and a predicted label matrix, which can be solved by a coordinate descent method. Extensive experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.
