Active Learning Method for Training Artificial Neural Networks

摘要

A method for training a neuron network using a processor in communication with a memory includes determining features of a signal using the neuron network, determining an uncertainty measure of the features for classifying the signal, reconstructing the signal from the features using a decoder neuron network to produce a reconstructed signal, comparing the reconstructed signal with the signal to produce a reconstruction error, combining the uncertainty measure with the reconstruction error to produce a rank of the signal for a necessity of a manual labeling, labeling the signal according to the rank to produce the labeled signal; and training the neuron network and the decoder neuron network using the labeled signal.
