Pool-based sequential active learning with multi kernels
share
We study a pool-based sequential active learning (AL), in which one sample is queried at each time from a large pool of unlabeled data according to a selection criterion. For this framework, we propose two selection criteria, named expected-kernel-discrepancy (EKD) and expected-kernel-loss (EKL), by leveraging the particular structure of multiple kernel learning (MKL). Also, it is identified that the proposed EKD and EKL successfully generalize the concepts of popular query-by-committee (QBC) and expected-model-change (EMC), respectively. Via experimental results with real-data sets, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed criteria compared with the existing methods.
