However, labeled samples are more difficult, expensive and time consuming to obtain than unlabeled ones. This pa- per proposed link based semi-supervised learning algorithms to boost the performance of a classifier, which integrates the traditional Self-training with the topological dependency based link learning. The experiments with a few labeled samples on standard WEBSPAM-UK2006 benchmark showed that the algorithms are effective.
