—It is often much easier and less expensive to collect data than to label it. Active learning (AL) ([Set09]) responds to this issue by selecting which unlabeled data are best to label next. Standard approaches utilize task-aware AL, which identifies informative samples based on a trained supervised model. Task-agnostic AL ignores the task model and instead makes selections based on learned properties of the dataset. We seek to combine these approaches and measure the contribution of incorporating task-agnostic information into standard AL, with the suspicion that the extra information in the task-agnostic features may improve the selection process. We test this on various AL methods using a ResNet classifier with and without added unsupervised information from a variational autoencoder (VAE). Although the results do not show a significant improvement, we investigate the effects on the acquisition function and suggest potential approaches for extending the work.
