Active Learning Based on Diversity Maximization
Yong Cheng Wu · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
In many practical data mining applications, unlabeled training examples are readily available but labeled ones are fairly expensive to obtain. Therefore, as one type of the paradigms for addressing the problem of combining labeled and unlabeled data to boost the performance, active learning has attracted much attention. In this paper, we propose a new active learning approach based on diversity maximization. Different from the well-known co-testing algorithm, our method does not require two different views. The comparative studies with other active learning methods demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
