Budget efficient online active learning and its applications by Hao, Shuji

“…To correct this weak assumption, this study proposes two robust online active learning algorithms, which not only consider the predictions of experts on current instance, but also consider the cumulative performance of experts on past instances. To validate the proposed algorithms, a series of experiments are conducted, in which the results show that the proposed algorithms greatly outperform the state-of-the-art existing algorithms and can achieve robust performance both in the normal and noisy scenarios. …”
