Deep Active Learning
Deep active learning (DAL) aims to train high-performing deep learning models using significantly fewer labeled examples than traditional methods by strategically selecting the most informative data points for human annotation. Current research focuses on developing novel query strategies, often incorporating uncertainty measures and diversity considerations, and adapting these strategies to various model architectures, including convolutional neural networks and transformers, across diverse applications like image classification, object detection, and natural language processing. The effectiveness of DAL is being rigorously evaluated, with a growing emphasis on addressing challenges like class imbalance, label noise, and computational scalability, ultimately aiming to reduce the high cost and time associated with data annotation in many fields.
