Active Learning Is Planning: Nonmyopic Ε-Bayes-Optimal Active Learning of Gaussian Processes

Abstract

A fundamental issue in active learning of Gaussian processes is that of the exploration-exploitation trade-off. This paper presents a novel nonmyopic ε-Bayes-optimal active learning ( ε -BAL) approach [4] that jointly optimizes the trade-off. In contrast, existing works have primarily developed greedy algorithms or performed exploration and exploitation separately. To perform active learning in real time, we then propose an anytime algorithm [4] based on ε -BAL with performance guarantee and empirically demonstrate using a real-world dataset that, with limited budget, it outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms.
