Supervised learning problems may become ill-posed when there is a lack of information, resulting in unstable and non-unique solutions. However, instead of solely relying on regularization, initializing an informative ill-posed operator is akin to posing better questions to achieve more accurate answers. The Fredholm integral equation of the first kind (FIFK) is a reliable ill-posed operator that can integrate distributions and prior knowledge as input information. By incorporating input distributions and prior knowledge, the FIFK operator can address the limitations of using high-dimensional input distributions by semi-supervised assumptions, leading to more precise approximations of the integral operator. Additionally, the FIFK's incorporation of probabilistic principles can further enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of solutions. In cases of noisy operator equations and limited data, the FIFK's flexibility in defining problems using prior information or cross-validation with various kernel designs is especially advantageous. This capability allows for detailed problem definitions and facilitates achieving high levels of accuracy and stability in solutions. In our study, we examined the FIFK through two different approaches. Firstly, we implemented a semi-supervised assumption by using the same Fredholm operator kernel and data function kernel and incorporating unlabeled information. Secondly, we used the MSDF method, which involves selecting different kernels on both sides of the equation to define when the mapping kernel is different from the data function kernel. To assess the effectiveness of the FIFK and the proposed methods in solving ill-posed problems, we conducted experiments on a real-world dataset. Our goal was to compare the performance of these methods against the widely used least-squares method and other comparable methods.
