Over the next few pages, we'll move from this general understanding to develop an ability to use a semi-supervised application effectively.

Self-training

Self-training is the simplest semi-supervised learning method and can also be the fastest. Self-training algorithms see an application in multiple contexts, including NLP and computer vision; as we'll see, they can present both substantial value and significant risks.
