Active learning tools

A recent new trend called Active Learning substitutes the often assumed static setting of training and test set in which a learning machine is applied by the probably more realistic scenario of a continuous flow of data. The outcome of experiments influences the choice and generation of subsequent data points [155]. Active Learning provides tools that help select the most promising next subset of data to be subjected to experimentation [156].
