Abstract

Machine Learning applications need to continually update their models with new training data to improve and maintain accuracy. However, it is often difficult to decide what new data needs to be labeled for training, and what are the best workflow and interfaces for labeling. This talk will focus on how you can use Active Learning to improve your training data at scale with common Deep Learning frameworks. At the end of this talk, you will understand several Active Learning strategies that you can apply for your business needs. We will use the example of applying Active Learning to the ImageNet data set using the TensorFlow Deep Learning framework.
