contents In this paper, we investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models. Instead, the collaborators share prediction results from the new domain and newly acquired labels. This collaboration offers several advantages: (a) it addresses privacy and security concerns by eliminating the need for direct model and data disclosure; (b) it enables the use of different data sources and insights without direct data exchange; and (c) it promotes cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency through shared labeling costs. To realize these benefits, we introduce a collaborative active learning framework designed to fulfill the aforementioned objectives. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework through simulations. The results demonstrate that collaboration leads to higher AUC scores compared to independent efforts, highlighting the framework's ability to overcome the limitations of individual models. These findings support the use of collaborative approaches in active learning, emphasizing their potential to enhance outcomes through collective expertise and shared resources. Our work provides a foundation for further research on collaborative active learning and its practical applications in various domains where data privacy, cost efficiency, and model performance are critical considerations.
