In this paper we introduce the concept and method for adaptively tuning the model complexity in an online manner as more examples become available. Challenging classification pro...
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...
