Clustering Based Active Learning

Clustering-based active learning aims to efficiently train machine learning models by strategically selecting data points for human annotation, leveraging the inherent cluster structure within the data. Current research focuses on developing algorithms that optimize query selection, often incorporating techniques like adaptive clustering, bandit feedback, and diversity exploration to minimize annotation costs while maximizing model performance. This approach is particularly valuable in domains with expensive or time-consuming labeling processes, such as image segmentation, natural language processing, and speech recognition, offering significant potential for improving model accuracy and reducing bias with limited human intervention.
