This is an online publication. It surveys the field of semi-supervised learning, a branch under machine learning and more generally artificial intelligence. It originates as a chapter from the author's Ph.D. thesis. The survey is updated regularly to incorporate latest developments in the field. Please use the "Download the latest survey" link above to get the most recent version. The version number is the "Last Modified on" date under the title in each pdf file.
