Active learning is now standard practice in labeling ecological data, enabling ecologists to quickly process large volumes of field data to understand and monitor natural environments. Current practices evaluate active learning inductively, estimating predictive performance on a held-out test set.

arXiv:2606. 01723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world regression often exhibits shortcuts: attributes that are spuriously correlated with continuous targets in training, yet unreliable under deployment shifts; regressing targets using such shortcuts may fail catastrophically at test time.
