Active learning deals with the problem of selecting a small subset of examples to label, from a pool of unlabeled data, for training a good classifier. We develop an active learning algorithm in the boosting framework. In contrast to much of the recent efforts, which has focused on selecting the most ambiguous unlabeled example to label based on the current learned classifier, our algorithm sel...
