Abstract

According to some certain criteria, active learning algorithm selects the most informative samples from the unlabeled sample sets for human experts to label, then the labeled samples, called the training set, are used to train a model for image classification or image annotation. In this way, it not only decreases the efforts of manual labeling randomly, but also reduces the sample complexity and may speeds up the learning process of image classification model. After many years developed and researched, we have accumulated fruitful research results in active learning. In this paper, we make a literature survey of active learning in multimedia annotation and retrieval. Firstly, we briefly introduce the basic principle of active learning and then analyze some sample selection strategies. Furthermore, we introduce the state of the art of active learning algorithms, which include the combination of active learning with semi-supervised learning, multi-label learning, multi-instance learning and incremental learning respectively. Finally, we throw out some open problems on active learning.
