In this paper we address the problem of pool based active learning, and provide an algorithm, called UPAL, that works by minimizing the unbiased estimator of the risk of a hypothe...
This paper shows how a text classifier's need for labeled training documents can be reduced by taking advantage of a large pool of unlabeled documents. We modify the Query-by...
Active learning may hold the key for solving the data scarcity problem in supervised learning, i.e., the lack of labeled data. Indeed, labeling data is a costly process, yet an ac...
Active learning is a generic approach to accelerate training of classifiers in order to achieve a higher accuracy with a small number of training examples. In the past, simple ac...
—One common approach to active learning is to iteratively train a single classifier by choosing data points based on its uncertainty, but it is nontrivial to design uncertainty ...
