arXiv:2606.04647v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active learning (AL) for node classification typically focuses on selecting the most informative nodes for annotation within one or a few large graphs (e.g., in social network analysis). However, in other domains, such as molecular chemistry or electronic design automation, datasets consist of thousands of independent graphs. In many of these inductive settings, annotating an individual node requires a full-graph analysis, which effectively yields the remaining node labels on-the-fly. Therefore, these scenarios require AL strategies that select e
The proliferation of graph-structured data in diverse scientific and industrial applications is driving the need for more efficient AI training methods.
Improving active learning techniques for inductive node classification can significantly reduce the cost and effort of data annotation in AI systems, accelerating development.
The focus of active learning research is expanding beyond large single graphs to address scenarios with numerous independent graphs, specifically optimizing for full-graph analysis costs.
