In recent years, the emergence of semi-supervised learning methods has broadened the scope of machine learning, especially for pattern classification. Besides obviating the need for experts to label the data, efficient use of unlabeled data causes a significant improvement in supervised learning methods in many applications. With the advent of statistical learning theory in the late 80's, and the emergence of the concept of regularization, kernel learning has always been in deep concentration. In recent years, semi-supervised kernel learning, which is a combination of the two above-mentioned viewpoints, has been considered greatly.

A random vector with binary components that are independent of each other is referred to as a Bernoulli random vector. A Bernoulli Mixture Model (BMM) is a combination of a finite number of Bernoulli models, where each sample is generated randomly according to one of these models. The important challenge is to estimate the parameters of a Bernoulli Mixture Model or to cluster samples based on their source models. This problem has applications in bioinformatics, image recognition, text classification, social networks, and more. For example, in bioinformatics, it pertains to clustering ethnic groups based on genetic data. Many studies have introduced algorithms for solving this problem without...
