📰 Lilian Weng's Blog

Active learning helps with limited labeled data by selectively labeling samples under a limited budget

intermediate Published 20 Feb 2022
Action Steps
  1. Identify the most informative samples for labeling
  2. Use uncertainty measures or diversity metrics to select samples
  3. Annotate the selected samples and update the model
  4. Repeat the process until the labeling budget is exhausted
Who Needs to Know This

Data scientists and machine learning engineers can benefit from active learning to improve model performance with limited labeling resources, and product managers can use this to optimize data collection budgets

Key Insight

💡 Active learning can significantly improve model performance with limited labeling resources by focusing on the most informative samples

<!-- The performance of supervised learning tasks improves with more high-quality labels available. However, it is expensive to collect a large number of labeled samples. Active learning is one paradigm to deal with not enough labeled data, when there are resources for labeling more data samples but under a limited budget. --> <p>This is part 2 of what to do when facing a limited amount of labeled data for supervised learning tasks. This time we will get some amount of human labeling work involv
