Active Learning with Statistical Models

Abstract

For many types of learners one can compute the statistically "op(cid:173) timal" way to select data. We review how these techniques have been used with feedforward neural networks [MacKay, 1992; Cohn, 1994] . We then show how the same principles may be used to select data for two alternative, statistically-based learning architectures: mixtures of Gaussians and locally weighted regression. While the techniques for neural networks are expensive and approximate, the techniques for mixtures of Gaussians and locally weighted regres(cid:173) sion are both efficient and accurate.
