Talk#1: Active Learning in the Era of LLMs

Summary: The expense of annotating data is one of the biggest bottlenecks when training or fine-tuning LLMs for end-user use cases. While few-shot learning has helped dramatically with these costs, it can still be challenging to decide what kind of data is appropriate to use. Active learning is a technique for selecting unlabeled data efficiently using the model as a guide. In this talk, I provide an overview of active learning and discuss recent developments in the space which make it more suitable for the unique use cases of LLMs, including multi-task instruction tuning.
