arXiv:2606.03821v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active learning is now standard practice in labeling ecological data, enabling ecologists to quickly process large volumes of field data to understand and monitor natural environments. Current practices evaluate active learning inductively, estimating predictive performance on a held-out test set. We argue that this evaluation is misaligned with most ecological tasks, where the goal is to transductively label an entire pool of data as efficiently as possible. We demonstrate that ignoring the human-in-the-loop underestimates the importance of cont
