摘要:

我们设计了一个主动学习算法的成本敏感的多类分类:不同的错误有不同的成本的问题。我们的算法COAL通过回归每个标签的成本并预测最小的成本来进行预测。在一个新的例子中,它使用了一组对过去数据表现良好的回归器来估计每个标签的可能成本。它只查询可能是最好的标签,忽略了肯定会失败的标签。我们证明了COAL可以有效地实现任何回归家庭,承认平方损失优化,它也享有强有力的保证方面的预测性能和标签的努力。我们将COAL与被动学习和几个主动学习基线进行了经验比较,显示出在真实世界数据集上标记工作和测试成本方面的显着改进。

英文摘要:

We design an active learning algorithm for cost-sensitive multiclass classification: problems where different errors have different costs. Our algorithm, COAL, makes predictions by regressing to each label's cost and predicting the smallest. On a new example, it uses a set of regressors that perform well on past data to estimate possible costs for each label. It queries only the labels that could be the best, ignoring the sure losers. We prove COAL can be efficiently implemented for any regression family that admits squared loss optimization; it also enjoys strong guarantees with respect to predictive performance and labeling effort. We empirically compare COAL to passive learning and several active learning baselines, showing significant improvements in labeling effort and test cost on real-world datasets.
