Then, these derived Gaussian distributions are used to predict the labels for unlabeled samples. Unlike most studies, which solely rely on methods similar to SoftMax-based classification for pseudo-labeling, our method fits Gaussian clusters to the latent feature representations. It considers the probability of a latent feature vector to be part of a particular class's Gaussian clusters to generate the pseudo-label of unlabeled data points. The proposed approach is compared with the standard baseline, the traditional way of using SoftMax to predict labels from logits. Empirical results show competitive performance against the baseline, specifically with shallow labeled samples. Additionally, this study reveals that GMM's ability to interpret embedded feature space distributions with a handful of labeled data points is superior to SoftMax's.application:pdfActivation FunctionGaussian Mixture ModelLatent Feature RepresentationPsuedo-labelSemi-supervised Deep LearningText
