Multi-View Active Learning in the Non-Realizable Case

The sample complexity of active learning under the realizability assumption has been well-studied. The realizability assumption, however, rarely holds in practice. In this paper, we theoretically characterize the sample complexity of active learning in the non-realizable case under multi-view setting. We prove that, with unbounded Tsybakov noise, the sample complexity of multi-view active learning can be $\widetilde{O}(\log\frac{1}{\epsilon})$, contrasting to single-view setting where the polynomial improvement is the best possible achievement. We also prove that in general multi-view setting the sample complexity of active learning with unbounded Tsybakov noise is $\widetilde{O}(\frac{1}{\epsilon})$, where the order of $1/\epsilon$ is independent of the parameter in Tsybakov noise, contrasting to previous polynomial bounds where the order of $1/\epsilon$ is related to the parameter in Tsybakov noise.Comment: 22 pages, 1 figur
