Patent number: 11960984Abstract: An active learning framework is provided that employs a plurality of machine learning components that operate over iterations of a training phase followed by an active learning phase. In each iteration of the training phase, the machine learning components are trained from a pool of labeled observations. In the active learning phase, the machine learning components are configured to generate metrics used to control sampling of unlabeled observations for labeling such that newly labeled observations are added to a pool of labeled observations for the next iteration of the training phase. The machine learning components can include an inspection (or primary) learning component that generates a predicted label and uncertainty score for an unlabeled observation, and at least one additional component that generates a quality metric related to the unlabeled observation or the predicted label. The uncertainty score and quality metric(s) can be combined for efficient sampling of observations for labeling.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Nader Salman, Guillaume Le Moing, Sepand Ossia, Vahagn Hakopian
