A data processing method and device are provided. The method includes: extracting a plurality of data sets from unlabeled data; and for each data set, creating a plurality of sample sets by assigning labels to data samples in the data set, respectively training, for each sample set created from the data set, a classifier by using the sample set and labeled data, obtaining a sample set that corresponds to a trained classifier with the highest performance, and adding the obtained sample set to a candidate training set. Each sample set includes the first preset number of data samples with respective labels, the labels of the data samples in each sample set constitutes a label combination, and label combinations corresponding to different sample sets are different from each other. The method also includes adding a second preset number of sample sets in the candidate training set to the labeled data.
