用多策略筛选未标注数据,让主动学习更稳定高效。

Cleaning the Pool: Progressive Filtering of Unlabeled Pools in Deep Active Learning

  • 多策略并行过滤,逐步缩小候选池
  • 跨6个数据集3个模型均优于单一方法
  • 可无缝接入新策略,适合实际部署

现有主动学习(AL)策略基于不同数据价值概念,如不确定性或代表性,导致性能在不同数据集、模型和学习周期间差异显著。单一策略难以全程最优。我们提出REFINE,一种无需预知最佳策略的集成主动学习方法。每轮迭代分两步:(1) 渐进式过滤通过融合多种策略,保留体现不同价值维度的候选样本;(2) 基于覆盖度的选择从精炼池中选出最终批次,确保各类价值被充分考虑。在6个分类数据集和3个基础模型上的实验表明,REFINE持续优于单个策略及现有集成方法。值得注意的是,渐进式过滤作为预处理步骤,能显著提升任意单个策略在精炼池上的表现,我们在音频光谱分类任务中验证了这一点。此外,REFINE的集成框架可轻松扩展至未来出现的先进主动学习策略。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Existing active learning (AL) strategies capture fundamentally different notions of data value, e.g., uncertainty or representativeness. Consequently, the effectiveness of strategies can vary substantially across datasets, models, and even AL cycles. Committing to a single strategy risks suboptimal performance, as no single strategy dominates throughout the entire AL process. We introduce REFINE, an ensemble AL method that combines multiple strategies without knowing in advance which will perform best. In each AL cycle, REFINE operates in two stages: (1) Progressive filtering iteratively refines the unlabeled pool by considering an ensemble of AL strategies, retaining promising candidates capturing different notions of value. (2) Coverage-based selection then chooses a final batch from this refined pool, ensuring all previously identified notions of value are accounted for. Extensive experiments across 6 classification datasets and 3 foundation models show that REFINE consistently outperforms individual strategies and existing ensemble methods. Notably, progressive filtering serves as a powerful preprocessing step that improves the performance of any individual AL strategy applied to the refined pool, which we demonstrate on an audio spectrogram classification use case. Finally, the ensemble of REFINE can be easily extended with upcoming state-of-the-art AL strategies.
