Slides

Readings

  • Two Faces of Active Learning, by Sanjoy Dasgupta (especially sections 1 and 2) (link)
  • Optional Advanced Readings:
    • Active Learning Literature Survey (by Burr Settles)
    • Active Learning Survey (by Balcan and Urner)

What You Should Know

  • What is active learning:
    • Batch Active Learning
    • Selective Sampling and Active Learning
  • Active learning could provide exponential improvements in label complexity (both theoretically and practically)!
  • Common heuristics (e.g., those based on uncertainty sampling).
  • Sampling bias.
  • Safe Disagreement Based Active Learning Schemes.
    • Understand how they operate precisely in the realizable case (noise free scenarios).
