Disentanglement based Active Learning
share
We propose Disentanglement based Active Learning (DAL), a new active learning technique based on query synthesis which leverages the concept of disentanglement. Instead of requesting labels from the human oracle, our method automatically labels majority of the datapoints, thus drastically reducing the human labelling budget in active learning. The proposed method uses Information Maximizing Generative Adversarial Nets (InfoGAN) to achieve the task where the active learner provides a feedback on the generation of InfoGAN based on which decision is taken about the datapoints to be queried. Results on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that DAL is able to achieve nearly fully supervised accuracy with fairly less labelling budget compared to existing active learning approaches.
