| contents | The Deep Learning revolution has enabled groundbreaking achievements in recent years. From breast cancer detection to protein folding, deep learning algorithms have been at the core of very important advancements. However, these modern advancements are becoming more and more data-hungry, especially on labeled data whose availability is scarce: this is even more prevalent in the medical context. In this work, we show how active learning could be very effective in data scarcity situations, where obtaining labeled data (or annotation budget is very limited). We compare several selection criteria (BALD, MeanSTD, and MaxEntropy) on the ISIC 2016 dataset. We also explored the effect of acquired pool size on the model's performance. Our results suggest that uncertainty is useful to the Melanoma detection task, and confirms the hypotheses of the author of the paper of interest, that \textit{bald} performs on average better than other acquisition functions. Our extended analyses however revealed that all acquisition functions perform badly on the positive (cancerous) samples, suggesting exploitation of class unbalance, which could be crucial in real-world settings. We finish by suggesting future work directions that would be useful to improve this current work. The code of our implementation is open-sourced at \url{https://github.com/bonaventuredossou/ece526_course_project} |
