Active learning for text classification with reusability

Rong Hu, Brian Mac Namee, Sarah Jane Delany

Abstract: Highlights•We investigate the reusability problem in active learning for text classification.•The reusability problem affects active learning systems for text classification.•If the consumer classifier type is known, it should be used for the selector.•Local and global classifiers do not mix well with regard to reusability.•To maximize reusability support vector machines should be used as selectors.
