Thales Research and Technology Canada is developing a decision support system consisting in multiple classification models trained simultaneously online to capture experts’ decision policies based on their previous decisions. The system learns decision patterns from examples annotated by a human expert during a training phase of knowledge capture. Because of the small volume of labeled data, we investigated a machine learning technique called active learning that copes with the dilemma of learning with minimal resources and aims at requesting the most informative samples in a pool given the current models. The current study evaluates the impact of using active learning over an uninformed strategy (e.g., random sampling) in the context of policy capturing to reduce the annotation cost during the knowledge capture phase. This work shows that active learning has potential over random sampling for capturing human decision policies with minimal amount of examples and for reducing annotation cost significantly.
