New framework improves U-statistics with active inference for costly labels

Researchers have developed a new active inference framework for U-statistics, aiming to improve estimation efficiency when labeling data is expensive. This approach selectively queries informative labels within a fixed budget, building upon augmented inverse probability weighting U-statistics. The framework is also extended to U-statistic-based empirical risk minimization, showing significant gains in efficiency and maintaining target coverage in experiments. AI
