Stream-Based Active Learning in Changing Environments under Verification Latency. Pham, Tuan. In Organic Computing -- Doctoral Dissertation Colloquium 2021, S. Tomforde, C. Krupitzer (reds.), bll 152–164. kassel university press, 2022.

Labeling data often requires human interaction, which is slow and costly depending on the required expertise. Stream-based active learning reduces the cost of labeling for data stream mining by only querying the labels for instances that improve the classifier the most. However, state-of-the-art stream-based active learning strategies assume that verification latency, i.e., the time between a query and the availability of the queried label, is negligible. In reality, this is usually not the case as the experts who provide such labels are not available all the time, and the labeling process itself requires time. This article investigates the impact of verification latency within a stream-based active learning scenario for changing data streams. We focus on two different types of changes that occur over time, i.e., changes in the number of features and changes in the distribution of instances and/or labels. In particular, we identify challenges that occur due to verification latency and propose ideas to overcome these problems within a stream-based active learning strategy.

Machine learning applications often need large amounts of training data to perform well. Whereas unlabeled data can be easily gathered, the labeling process is difficult, time-consuming, or expensive in most applications. Active learning can help solve this problem by querying labels for those data points that will improve the performance the most. Thereby, the goal is that the learning algorithm performs sufficiently well with fewer labels. We provide a library called scikit-activeml that covers the most relevant query strategies and implements tools to work with partially labeled data. It is programmed in Python and builds on top of scikit-learn.

In this paper, we evaluate different popular voting strategies for fusion of classifier results. A convolutional neural network (CNN) and different variants of random forest (RF) classifiers were trained to discriminate between 15 tree species based on airborne hyperspectral imaging data. The spectral data was preprocessed with a multi-class linear discriminant analysis (MCLDA) as a means to reduce dimensionality and to obtain spatial–spectral features. The best individual classifier was a CNN with a classification accuracy of 0.73 +/− 0.086. The classification performance increased to an accuracy of 0.78 +/− 0.053 by using precision weighted voting for a hybrid ensemble of the CNN and two RF classifiers. This voting strategy clearly outperformed majority voting (0.74), accuracy weighted voting (0.75), and presidential voting (0.75).
