2. What is Active Learning
The process of guiding the
sampling process by querying for
certain types of instances based
upon the data that we have seen
so far

3. The importance of Active learning
• The process of labeling the training data
is not only time-consuming but also very
expensive
• Less training data we need, more we will
save

4. Applications
• Text classification
• Web page classification
• Junk mail recognition

5. Methods
• Neural Networks
• Bayesian rule
• SVM
No matter which method will be used, the core problem will be the same
•The core problem is how to select training points actively?
•In other words, which training points will be informative to the model?

6. Active vs. Passive Learning
• Passive:
– Randomly select training samples
• Active
– Use an automated method to select training
samples
