Active learning using region-based sampling

5 Mar 2023  ·  Sanjoy Dasgupta, Yoav Freund ·

We present a general-purpose active learning scheme for data in metric spaces. The algorithm maintains a collection of neighborhoods of different sizes and uses label queries to identify those that have a strong bias towards one particular label; when two such neighborhoods intersect and have different labels, the region of overlap is treated as a ``known unknown'' and is a target of future active queries. We give label complexity bounds for this method that do not rely on assumptions about the data and we instantiate them in several cases of interest.
