Cross Domain Active Learning

In this paper, we propose a solution to reduce the labeling costs by applying domain adaption methods coupled with active learning to reduce the number labels needed to train a classifier. We assume to have only one task but different domains in the sense that we have texts that come from different distributions. Our approach uses multi domain learning together with active learning to find a minimum number of texts to label from as few domains as possible to train a classifier with a certain confidence in its predictions.
