同时处理异常数据过滤与新类别发现，提升主动学习效率。

As the data demand for deep learning models increases, active learning (AL) becomes essential to strategically select samples for labeling, which maximizes data efficiency and reduces training costs. Real-world scenarios necessitate the consideration of incomplete data knowledge within AL. Prior works address handling out-of-distribution (OOD) data, while another research direction has focused on category discovery. However, a combined analysis of real-world considerations combining AL with out-of-distribution data and category discovery remains unexplored. To address this gap, we propose Joint Out-of-distribution filtering and data Discovery Active learning (Joda) , to uniquely address both challenges simultaneously by filtering out OOD data before selecting candidates for labeling. In contrast to previous methods, we deeply entangle the training procedure with filter and selection to construct a common feature space that aligns known and novel categories while separating OOD samples. Unlike previous works, Joda is highly efficient and completely omits auxiliary models and training access to the unlabeled pool for filtering or selection. In extensive experiments on 18 configurations and 3 metrics, \ours{} consistently achieves the highest accuracy with the best class discovery to OOD filtering balance compared to state-of-the-art competitor approaches.
