Constructing Structured Decision Sources for Consensus-Based Pseudo-Label Learning

Consensus can make pseudo-label learning more reliable, but only when its predictors contribute genuinely different evidence.

Key points

  • We address this problem by con structing decision sources through controlled changes to within-class structure.
  • Starting from a shared graph representation, we vary center granularity and neighborhood mixing, reproduce each resulting source to test its stability, and select a complementary subset using node pair coassignment.
  • On the public fixed splits of Cora, CiteSeer, and PubMed, evaluated with five random seeds, the constructed sources improve fixed-budget training pseudo-label precision by 1.19 to 4.39 percentage points over three conventionally initialized GCN sources.
  • These results identify source construction rather than model count alone as an important design problem for consensus-based pseudo-label learning.
