Abstract

We study the label complexity of pool-based active learning in the PAC model with noise. Taking inspiration from extant literature on Exact learning with membership queries, we derive upper and lower bounds on the label complexity in terms of generalizations of extended teaching dimension. Among the contributions of this work is the first nontrivial general upper bound on label complexity in the presence of persistent classification noise.
