在标签成本极高的农业场景中,用专家经验和实时数据提升有限预算下的学习效率。
Budgeted Online Active Learning with Expert Advice and Episodic Priors
- 融合专家预测与实时数据中的周期性知识,动态优化标注选择。
- 在极端有限标注预算下,性能显著优于基线方法和忽略周期知识的现有方案。
- 适用于农业监测等标注成本高、数据有周期规律的在线学习任务。
本文提出一种新型预算约束的在线主动学习方法,适用于有限时域数据流场景,尤其在农业应用中极具价值——例如生长季每日气象数据流,而对应植物特征标签需昂贵实测。该方法整合两类先验信息:预先存在的专家预测器,以及基于无标签数据流推断出的专家行为周期性知识。与以往研究不同,本工作首次同时考虑查询预算、有限时域与周期性知识,在标注能力严重受限条件下实现高效学习。实验基于真实农业作物模拟器及多个葡萄品种的真实数据验证了方法有效性。结果表明,即使在严苛标注预算下,该方法仍显著优于专家基线、均匀采样策略,以及虽考虑预算与时域但忽略周期知识的现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper introduces a novel approach to budgeted online active learning from finite-horizon data streams with extremely limited labeling budgets. In agricultural applications, such streams might include daily weather data over a growing season, and labels require costly measurements of weather-dependent plant characteristics. Our method integrates two key sources of prior information: a collection of preexisting expert predictors and episodic behavioral knowledge of the experts based on unlabeled data streams. Unlike previous research on online active learning with experts, our work simultaneously considers query budgets, finite horizons, and episodic knowledge, enabling effective learning in applications with severely limited labeling capacity. We demonstrate the utility of our approach through experiments on various prediction problems derived from both a realistic agricultural crop simulator and real-world data from multiple grape cultivars. The results show that our method significantly outperforms baseline expert predictions, uniform query selection, and existing approaches that consider budgets and limited horizons but neglect episodic knowledge, even under highly constrained labeling budgets.
