Motivation:
In existing semi-supervised learning methods, all unlabeled examples are equally weighted. The authors claim that not all unlabeled data are equal.
Main idea:
They propose an algorithm based on the influence function (a measure of a model's dependency on one training example) to assign a different weight for every unlabeled example. And the most important contribution they made is the fast and effective approximation of the influence function.
