Lecture Notes on multiview point cloud regularization (MVPCR), a framework that unifies and generalizes several semisupervised kernel methods that are based on data-dependent regularization in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Special cases of MVPCR include coregularized least squares (CoRLS), manifold regularization (MR), and graph-based SSL.
