Exponentiated Gradient Exploration for Active Learning

Active learning strategies respond to the costly labeling task in a supervised classification by selecting the most useful unlabeled examples in training a predictive model. Many conventional active learning algorithms focus on refining the decision boundary, rather than exploring new regions that c...
