abstract

This paper is concerned with pool-based active learning for deep neural networks. Motivated by coreset dataset compression ideas, we present a novel active learning algorithm that queries consecutive points from the pool using farthest-first traversals in the space of neural activation over a representation layer. We show consistent and overwhelming improvement in sample complexity over passive learning (random sampling) for three datasets: MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100. In addition, our algorithm outperforms the traditional uncertainty sampling technique (obtained using softmax activations), and we identify cases where uncertainty sampling is only slightly better than random sampling.

TinyUSFM: Towards Compact and Efficient Ultrasound Foundation Models

eess.IV · 2025-10-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

TinyUSFM distills a large ultrasound foundation model into a lightweight version using feature-gradient coreset selection and domain-separated masked image modeling, matching performance on a new 18-dataset benchmark with 6.36% of the parameters.

Discriminative Active Learning

cs.LG · 2019-07-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

DAL poses batch active learning as a binary classification task between labeled and unlabeled data to select informative examples for labeling.

Are Candidate Models Really Needed for Active Learning?

cs.CV · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Active learning with randomly initialized models achieves comparable results to traditional candidate-model methods, with low-confidence sampling proving most effective.
