Label Propagation digits active learning#
Demonstrates an active learning technique to learn handwritten digits using label propagation.
We start by training a label propagation model with only 10 labeled points,
then we select the top five most uncertain points to label. Next, we train
with 15 labeled points (original 10 + 5 new ones). We repeat this process
four times to have a model trained with 30 labeled examples. Note you can
increase this to label more than 30 by changing max_iterations
. Labeling
more than 30 can be useful to get a sense for the speed of convergence of
this active learning technique.
A plot will appear showing the top 5 most uncertain digits for each iteration of training. These may or may not contain mistakes, but we will train the next model with their true labels.
