Active learning strategies remain effective under simulated data imbalance

A new study published on arXiv explores the effectiveness of active learning strategies in binary semantic segmentation, particularly within machine vision and medical imaging contexts. The research simulates scenarios with class imbalance and label shift, common in these fields due to data volume and storage limitations. The findings indicate that active learning methods, especially entropy-based and core-set selections, remain competitive and often outperform random sampling even with significant data imbalances. The study also quantifies the efficiency loss experienced when label shifts are pronounced. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into optimizing data selection for AI models in image analysis tasks with imbalanced datasets.

    Active Learning under Simulated Class Imbalance and Label Shift in Binary Semantic Segmentation

    arXiv:2601.06209v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The aim of Active Learning is to select the most informative samples from an unlabelled set of data. This is useful in cases where the amount of data is large and labelling is expensive, such as in machine vision or medical imag…
