• Abstract summary: Active learning strategies aim at minimizing the amount of labelled data required to train a Deep Learning model. Most active strategies are based on uncertain sample selection, and even often restricted to samples lying close to the decision boundary. Here we propose to take into consideration common domain-knowledge and enable non-expert users to train a model with fewer samples.

• Abstract: The deployment of Deep Learning (DL) models is still precluded in those contexts where the amount of supervised data is limited. To answer this issue, active learning strategies aim at minimizing the amount of labelled data required to train a DL model. Most active strategies are based on uncertain sample selection, and even often restricted to samples lying close to the decision boundary. These techniques are theoretically sound, but an understanding of the selected samples based on their content is not straightforward, further driving non-experts to consider DL as a black-box. For the first time, here we propose to take into consideration common domain-knowledge and enable non-expert users to train a model with fewer samples. In our Knowledge-driven Active Learning (KAL) framework, rule-based knowledge is converted into logic constraints and their violation is checked as a natural guide for sample selection. We show that even simple relationships among data and output classes offer a way to spot predictions for which the model need supervision. We empirically show that KAL (i) outperforms many active learning strategies, particularly in those contexts where domain knowledge is rich, (ii) it discovers data distribution lying far from the initial training data, (iii) it ensures domain experts that the provided knowledge is acquired by the model, (iv) it is suitable for regression and object recognition tasks unlike uncertainty-based strategies, and (v) its computational demand is low.

  We propose a downstream-pretext domain knowledge traceback (DOKT) method that traces the data interactions of downstream knowledge and pre-training guidance. DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

  Active learning is a machine learning paradigm that aims to improve the performance of a model by strategically selecting and querying unlabeled data. One effective selection strategy is to base it on the model's predictive uncertainty, which can be interpreted as a measure of how informative a sample is. This paper proposes the it least disagree metric (LDM) as the smallest probability of disagreement of the predicted label.

  We propose a novel Explainable Active Learning framework (XAL) for low-resource text classification. XAL encourages classifiers to justify their inferences and delve into unlabeled data for which they cannot provide reasonable explanations. Experiments on six datasets show that XAL achieves consistent improvement over 9 strong baselines.

  We propose a novel active learning approach for label-efficient training.

We also introduce a novel weighting mechanism based on reinforcement learning, which adaptively balances these criteria at each training iteration.

We demonstrate on several real datasets that this method learns to select training samples more efficiently than existing state-of-the-art methods.

• Multicriteria interpretability driven Deep Learning [0.0]
  Deep Learning methods are renowned for their performances, yet their lack of interpretability prevents them from high-stakes contexts. Recent model methods address this problem by providing post-hoc interpretability methods by reverse-engineering the model's inner workings. We propose a Multicriteria agnostic technique that allows to control the feature effects on the model's outcome by injecting knowledge in the objective function.
