Abstract：Rough set theory, as an effective supervised learning model, usually relies on the availability of an amount of labeled data to train the classifier. Howerer, in many practical problems, large amount of unlabeled data are readily available, and labeled ones are fairly expensive to obtain because of high cost. In this paper, a semi-supervised rough set model is proposed to deal with the partially labeled data. The proposed model firstly employs two diverse semi-supervised reducts to train its base classifiers on labeled data. The unlabeled ramified samples for two base classifiers are selected to be labeled based on the principle of active learning, and then the updated classifiers learn from each other by labeling confident unlabeled samples to its concomitant. The experimental results on selected UCI datasets show that the proposed model greatly improves the classification performance of partially labeled data, and even the best performance of dataset is obtained.
