Query Strategy
Query strategy research focuses on optimizing the selection of data points for labeling in active learning, aiming to maximize model performance with minimal annotation effort. Current research emphasizes benchmarking different query strategies across diverse datasets and model architectures, including deep learning models and language models, to establish best practices for various applications. This work is crucial for improving the efficiency and scalability of machine learning, particularly in resource-constrained settings, and has implications for fields ranging from medical image analysis to quantum computing. The development of standardized evaluation frameworks and novel query strategies that adapt to specific problem characteristics and budgets is a key focus.
