Active Learning with Domain Experts
1 points by dpleban 969 days ago
We were working on a project with a domain expert recently and felt there could be learnings that are relevant to the community we could share.

In our case, the domain expert was a dentist who reached out to us to help him create a machine learning model that would segment teeth in panoramic X-rays. He had some data pre-labeled, but the vast majority of his dataset was unlabeled.

Since labeling these X-rays is a time consuming process and requires domain knowledge, we decided to use Active Learning.

Following our success in creating an Active Learning pipeline in a Jupyter Notebook using Data Engine, we created a new Tooth Fairy project, which expands on that and brings even more capabilities into the notebook.
