Fully supervised models are predominant in Bayesian active learning. We argue that their neglect of the information present in unlabelled data harms not just predictive performance but also decisions about what data to acquire. Our proposed solution is a simple framework for semi-supervised Bayesian active learning. We find it produces better-performing models than either conventional Bayesian active learning or semi-supervised learning with randomly acquired data. It is also easier to scale up than the conventional approach. As well as supporting a shift towards semi-supervised models, our findings highlight the importance of studying models and acquisition methods in conjunction.

  1. FairBED: A Bayesian Experimental Design Approach to Gathering Fairer Data

    stat.ML 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    FairBED quantifies dataset fairness as uninformative about sensitive attributes and uses fairness-aware BED to gather data yielding better fairness-accuracy trade-offs than random or standard BED acquisition.
