abstract = "The efficacy of active learning in genetic programming
(AL-GP) for image processing tasks was explored using
two new population-based machine learning systems,
decision tree genetic programming and SEE-Segment.
Active learning was shown to improve the rate and
consistency at which good models are found while
reducing the required number of training samples to
achieve good solutions in both ML systems. The
importance of diversity in ensembles for AL-GP was
revealed by varying the definition for diversity when
performing active learning with SEE-Segment. It was
also demonstrated how AL-GP was deployed in a research
setting to help automate and accelerate progress by
guiding labeling of training samples (human cells) to
inform the development of classification models which
were then used to automatically classify cells in video
frames.",
