Deep Active Re-Labeling: Toward Noise-Resilient Annotation Efficiency

arXiv:2606.08718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Deep Active Learning (DAL) effectively reduces human annotation costs, its efficacy is constrained by human annotation errors. This is because the data sampled for active learning is assumed to be highly informative for training. When human annotators introduce errors into this informative data at a certain rate, the active learning performance drops significantly and, in some cases, even exhibits worse outcomes than passive learning. In this paper, we first analyze the impact of human annotation errors in the DAL setting. Then we propose a
