Active Learning

Implement active learning strategies (uncertainty sampling, query-by-committee, expected model change) to intelligently select data for annotation, significantly reducing labeling costs while maximizing model performance.

The play
  1. Set up the Environment
    Install necessary libraries for active learning and a machine learning framework (e.g., scikit-learn).
  2. Implement Uncertainty Sampling
    Write a function to calculate the uncertainty of model predictions on unlabeled data. Use the least confidence or margin sampling approach.
  3. Implement Query-by-Committee
    Train multiple models on the labeled data and select the unlabeled instances where the models disagree the most.
  4. Simulate Active Learning Loop
    Create a loop that iteratively trains a model, selects data points for labeling using an active learning strategy, and updates the labeled dataset.
