Select, Label, Evaluate: Active Testing in NLP

The paper introduces Active Testing, a framework that selects the most informative test samples for annotation in NLP, aiming to reduce human effort while accurately estimating model performance. Experiments across 18 datasets and 4 embedding strategies show up to 95% annotation savings with less than 1% loss in performance estimation accuracy. The authors also propose an adaptive stopping criterion to determine the optimal number of samples without a predefined budget.
