arXiv:2405. 08921v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We focus on the online-based active learning (OAL) setting where an agent operates over a stream of observations and trades-off between the costly acquisition of information (labelled observations) and the cost of prediction errors.
arXiv:2510. 12624v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Active feature acquisition (AFA) is a sequential decision-making problem where the goal is to improve model performance for test instances by adaptively selecting which features to acquire.
The paper introduces OHCAM, an online method for learning action models that include conditional and quantified effects from limited interactions. It maintains a belief over possible models and actively chooses actions that maximize disagreement among hypotheses to reduce uncertainty, while handling noisy observations. Starting with simple hypotheses, OHCAM expands complexity only when necessary, achieving sample‑efficient learning that outperforms baselines on benchmark domains and is validated on a Kinova Gen3 robot.

arXiv:2607. 11720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables effective policies to be trained from large, previously collected datasets and subsequently improved through limited online interaction.
arXiv:2509. 11259v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advancements in machine learning have largely been driven by foundation models (FMs) trained on large, diverse datasets, enabling them to generalize effectively to new, related tasks.
arXiv:2606. 07910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The challenge with active learning algorithms is the uncertainty of the statistical distribution of unlabeled data, making it difficult to choose the best hand-crafted strategy.

arXiv:2606. 05134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep active learning has previously been explored for LLM in-context sample selection, but not with methods that utilise recent advances in understanding of transformer activations.
Background: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables effective policies to be trained from large, previously collected datasets and subsequently improved through limited online interaction. This offline-to-online RL (O2O-RL) paradigm is particularly promising in nonstationary domains where interaction is costly or potentially hazardous.
