Active Learning with Irrelevant Examples
Abstract. Active learning algorithms attempt to accelerate the learning process by requesting labels for the most informative items first. In real-world problems, however, there ma...

Active learning with direct query construction
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...
