Evidential uncertainties on rich labels for active learning

21 Sep 2023  ·  Arthur Hoarau, Vincent Lemaire, Arnaud Martin, Jean-Christophe Dubois, Yolande Le Gall ·

Recent research in active learning, and more precisely in uncertainty sampling, has focused on the decomposition of model uncertainty into reducible and irreducible uncertainties. In this paper, we propose to simplify the computational phase and remove the dependence on observations, but more importantly to take into account the uncertainty already present in the labels, \emph{i.e.} the uncertainty of the oracles. Two strategies are proposed, sampling by Klir uncertainty, which addresses the exploration-exploitation problem, and sampling by evidential epistemic uncertainty, which extends the reducible uncertainty to the evidential framework, both using the theory of belief functions.
