%X Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) retrieves database images most similar to the query image by (1)  extracting quantitative image descriptors and (2) calculating similarity between database and query  image descriptors. Recently, manifold learning (ML) has been used to perform CBIR in a low dimensional  representation of the high dimensional image descriptor space to avoid the curse of dimensionality.  ML schemes are computationally expensive, requiring an eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) for every  new query image to learn its low dimensional representation. We present out-of-sample extrapolation  utilizing semi-supervised ML (OSE-SSL) to learn the low dimensional representation without  recomputing the EVD for each query image. OSE-SSL incorporates semantic information, partial class  label, into a ML scheme such that the low dimensional representation co-localizes semantically similar  images. In the context of prostate histopathology, gland morphology is an integral component of  the Gleason score which enables discrimination between prostate cancer aggressiveness. Images are  represented by shape features extracted from the prostate gland. CBIR with OSE-SSL for prostate  histology obtained from 58 patient studies, yielded an area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) of  0.53±0.03 comparatively a CBIR with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to learn a low dimensional  space yielded an AUPRC of 0.44±0.01.
