Element AI makes its BAyesian Active Learning library open source

Element AI's BAyesian Active Learning library (BaaL library) is now open source and available on GitHub. In this article, we briefly describe active learning, its potential use with deep networks and the specific capabilities of our BaaL library. Machine learning applications generally require a huge amount of data, and in many cases, this data cannot be easily acquired. What's more, even when data is readily available, it often is not possible to label it efficiently. Active learning aims at reducing the amount of labelled data needed to train machine learning models.
