Reducing the Burden of Aerial Image Labelling Through Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning Methods by Razzak, Muhammed T

“…Our results show that all active learning strategies evaluated provide minimal performance increases over a simple random sample acquisition strategy. However, we present analysis of the results illustrating how the various strategies work and intuition of when certain active learning strategies might be preferred. …”
