Researchers have developed a novel method for optimizing the allocation of limited labeling budgets in multiclass classification tasks. The approach combines Fisher information from acquired labels with the local geometry of multiclass excess risk to derive an acquisition criterion. This criterion prioritizes labels that strongly align with parameter directions perturbing the Bayes decision boundary, rather than solely relying on posterior uncertainty or global parameter information. The study includes theoretical characterizations, adaptive procedures, and experimental validation on Gaussian discriminant analysis and satellite imagery datasets, demonstrating potential improvements in mean error compared to uncertainty-based sampling.
