The paper investigates how pseudo‑labeled examples should be incorporated into mini‑batches during continual active learning (CAL) to balance annotation savings and training cost. It formalizes the problem as two decisions: selecting which unlabeled examples receive pseudo‑labels and determining their share of each mini‑batch. The proposed semi‑supervised continual active learning (SSCAL) method, compatible with any acquisition function, uses distance‑based pseudo‑labeling, caps their batch share, and reweights labeled losses to maintain gradient balance, achieving top performance across multiple audio datasets and settings.

We study streaming federated learning with limited client memory, where newly generated training data incur time-varying sampling costs and must be selectively admitted and retained over time. We consider a joint server-side admission and client-side memory-management framework with the objective of minimizing the cumulative excess population risk under a sampling-cost budget and buffer constraints.
