An Introduction to Active Learning
Place and Time |
Abstract |
I will review the general framework of active learning and give illustrative examples from several applications. I will show how, with suitable abuse of statistics, one can compute the "optimal" way to do active learning on a variety of machine learning architectures. As time permits, I will also describe my recent work on "active learning on a fixed budget" and discuss preliminary results and open problems surrounding it.
