Cleaning the Pool: Progressive Filtering of Unlabeled Pools in Deep Active Learning
Denis Huseljic, Marek Herde, Lukas Rauch +2
Existing active learning (AL) strategies capture fundamentally different notions of data value, e.g., uncertainty or representativeness. Consequently, the effectiveness of strategi…
Hashing-Baseline: Rethinking Hashing in the Age of Pretrained Models
Ilyass Moummad, Kawtar Zaher, Lukas Rauch +1
Information retrieval with compact binary embeddings, also referred to as hashing, is crucial for scalable fast search applications, yet state-of-the-art hashing methods require ex…
No Free Lunch in Active Learning: LLM Embedding Quality Dictates Query Strategy Success
Lukas Rauch, Moritz Wirth, Denis Huseljic +3
The advent of large language models (LLMs) capable of producing general-purpose representations lets us revisit the practicality of deep active learning (AL): By leveraging frozen…
Can Masked Autoencoders Also Listen to Birds?
Lukas Rauch, René Heinrich, Ilyass Moummad +3
Masked Autoencoders (MAEs) learn rich semantic representations in audio classification through an efficient self-supervised reconstruction task. However, general-purpose models fai…
