  Large amounts of labeled data are typically required to train deep learning
models. For many real-world problems, however, acquiring additional data can be
expensive or even impossible. We present semi-supervised deep kernel learning
(SSDKL), a semi-supervised regression model based on minimizing predictive
variance in the posterior regularization framework. SSDKL combines the
hierarchical representation learning of neural networks with the probabilistic
modeling capabilities of Gaussian processes. By leveraging unlabeled data, we
show improvements on a diverse set of real-world regression tasks over
supervised deep kernel learning and semi-supervised methods such as VAT and
mean teacher adapted for regression.
