  1. Active Learning Meeting 5 — October 21, 2014 CSCE 6933 Rodney Nielsen

  2. Active Learning • Usually an abundance of unlabeled data • How much should you label? • Which instances should you label? • Does it matter? • Can the learner benefit from selective labeling? • Active Learning: incrementally request labels for instances believed to be informative

  3. Learning Paradigms random ? query ? ? ? ? random Supervised Learning Unsupervised Learning Active Learning

  4. Active Learning Applications • Speech Recognition • 10 mins to annotate words in 1 min of speech • 7 hrs to annotate phonemes of 1 minute speech • Named Entity Recognition • Half an hour for a simple newswire article • PhD for a bioinformatics article • Image annotation

  5. Heuristic Active Learning Algorithm

  6. Heuristic Active Learning Algorithm • Start with unlabeled data • Randomly pick small num exs to have labeled • Repeat • Train classifier on labeled data • Query the unlabeled ex that: • Is closest to the boundary • Has the least certainty • Minimizes overall uncertainty random ? query random ? ? ? ?

  7. Active Learning Performance Ex. • Document classification: baseball vs. hockey

  8. Space of Active Learning

  9. Space of Active Learning

  10. Active Learning Query Types

  11. Membership Query Synthesis • Dynamically construct query instances based on expected informativeness • Applications • Character recognition. • Robot scientist: find optimal growth medium for a yeast • 3x $ decrease vs. cheapest next • 100x $ decrease vs. random selection

  12. Questions • Membership Query Synthesis

  13. Stream-based Selective Sampling • Informativeness measure • Region of uncertainty / Version space • Applications • POST • Sensor scheduling • IR ranking • WSD

  14. Pool-based Active Learning • Informativeness measure • Applications • Cancer diagnosis • Text classification • IE • Image classfctn & retrieval • Video classfctn & retrieval • Speech recognition

  15. Pool-based Active Learning Loop

  16. Space of Active Learning

  17. Questions • Questions???

  18. Uncertainty Sampling • Uncertainty sampling • Select examples based on confidence in prediction • Probabilistic models • Entropy-based models

  19. Questions • Entropy

  20. Entropy
