Abstract
Self-Training methods are a family of methods that use some supervised method to assign class labels to the unlabeled examples. The resulting model is useful to predict the classification of unseen new domain objects. Most common supervised methods used inside self-training are the inductive ones. In this paper we propose to use the lazy learning method LID to assign classes to the unlabeled examples. A lazy approach such as the one of LID allows to reason by similarity around the labeled examples. Thus, when an unlabeled example is classified as belonging to a class we are sure that it shares relevant features with some labeled examples.
