Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for providing an active learning annotation system that does not require historical data includes receiving a stream of unlabeled data, identifying a portion of the unlabeled data to label without access to label information, and receiving a labeled version of the identified portion of the unlabeled data and storing the labeled version as labeled data. The process includes analyzing the labeled version and at least a portion of the received unlabeled data that has not been labeled to identify an additional portion of the unlabeled data to label and store in the labeled data including by applying at least one warm up policy.
