Integrating Large Language Models and Graph Convolutional Networks for Semi-Supervised Image Classification
Therefore, semi-supervised approaches such as Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), which learn from both labeled and unlabeled data, have emerged as a promising solution. One of the primary challenges in applying GCNs to image classification is graph construction, since, unlike in citation networks or similar domains, images typically do not come with a predefined structural representation. For visual data, most studies construct graphs based on the similarity between feature vectors from pretrained deep learning backbones, typically by employing kNN or reciprocal kNN algorithms.
