Active Learning for Argument Mining: A Practical Approach
share
Despite considerable recent progress, the creation of well-balanced and diverse resources remains a time-consuming and costly challenge in Argument Mining. Active Learning reduces the amount of data necessary for the training of machine learning models by querying the most informative samples for annotation and therefore is a promising method for resource creation. In a large scale comparison of several Active Learning methods, we show that Active Learning considerably decreases the effort necessary to get good deep learning performance on the task of Argument Unit Recognition and Classification (AURC).
