Generative Adversarial Active Learning
We propose a new active learning by query synthesis approach using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). Different from regular active learning, the resulting algorithm adaptively synthesizes training instances for querying to increase learning speed. We generate queries according to the uncertainty principle, but our idea can work with other active learning principles. We report results from various numerical experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness the proposed approach. In some settings, the proposed algorithm outperforms traditional pool-based approaches. To the best our knowledge, this is the first active learning work using GAN.
