Exponentiated Gradient Exploration for Active Learning

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Active learning strategies respond to the costly labelling task in a supervised classification by selecting the most useful unlabelled examples in training a predictive model. Many conventional active learning algorithms focus on refining the decision boundary, rather than exploring new regions that can be more informative. In this setting, we propose a sequential algorithm named EG-Active that can improve any Active learning algorithm by an optimal random exploration. Experimental results show a statistically significant and appreciable improvement in the performance of our new approach over the existing active feedback methods.
