• Abstract: We address the problem of active learning under label shift: when the class proportions of source and target domains differ. We introduce a "medial distribution" to incorporate a tradeoff between importance weighting and class-balanced sampling and propose their combined usage in active learning. Our method is known as Mediated Active Learning under Label Shift (MALLS). It balances the bias from class-balanced sampling and the variance from importance weighting. We prove sample complexity and generalization guarantees for MALLS which show active learning reduces asymptotic sample complexity even under arbitrary label shift. We empirically demonstrate MALLS scales to high-dimensional datasets and can reduce the sample complexity of active learning by 60% in deep active learning tasks.

  Class-incremental learning (CIL) seeks to enable a model to sequentially learn new classes while retaining knowledge of previously learned ones. Balancing flexibility and stability remains a significant challenge, particularly when the task ID is unknown. We propose a novel semantic drift calibration method that incorporates mean shift compensation and covariance calibration.

  We aim to start from a pool of large-scale unlabeled data and then annotate the most informative samples for incremental learning. We propose Class-Balanced Selection (CBS) strategy to achieve both class balance and informativeness in chosen samples. Our CBS can be plugged and played into those CIL methods which are based on pretrained models with prompts tunning technique.

  Semi-supervised learning and contrastive learning have been progressively combined to achieve better performances in popular applications. One common manner is assigning pseudo-labels to unlabeled samples and selecting positive and negative samples from pseudo-labeled samples to apply contrastive learning. We propose Contrastive Learning with Augmented Features (CLAF) to alleviate the scarcity of minority class samples in contrastive learning.

• Active Learning with Combinatorial Coverage [0.0]
  Active learning is a practical field of machine learning that automates the process of selecting which data to label. Current methods are effective in reducing the burden of data labeling but are heavily model-reliant. This has led to the inability of sampled data to be transferred to new models as well as issues with sampling bias. We propose active learning methods utilizing coverage to overcome these issues.

  Recent developments in self-training have achieved very impressive results rivaling supervised learning on some datasets. Our experiments reveal that self-training is remarkably more efficient than active learning at reducing the labeling effort. The performance gap between active learning trained either with self-training or from scratch diminishes as we approach to the point where almost half of the dataset is labeled.

  We show that different negative sampling schemes implicitly trade-off performance on dominant versus rare labels. We provide a unified means to explicitly tackle both sampling bias, arising from working with a subset of all labels, and labeling bias, which is inherent to the data due to label imbalance.
