Traditional supervised learning classifier needs a lot of labeled samples to achieve good performance, however in many biological datasets there is only a small size of labeled samples and the remaining samples are unlabeled. Labeling these unlabeled samples manually is difficult or expensive. Technologies such as active learning and semi-supervised learning have been proposed to utilize the unlabeled samples for improving the model performance. However in active learning the model suffers from being short-sighted or biased and some manual workload is still needed. The semi-supervised learning methods are easy to be affected by the noisy samples. In this paper we propose a novel logistic regression model based on complementarity of active learning and semi-supervised learning, for utilizing the unlabeled samples with least cost to improve the disease classification accuracy. In addition to that, an update pseudo-labeled samples mechanism is designed to reduce the false pseudo-labeled samples. The experiment results show that this new model can achieve better performances compared the widely used semi-supervised learning and active learning methods in disease classification and gene selection.
