Deep Learning with Humans-In-The-Loop: Active Learning for NLP

With the rise of deep learning and abundant text data, NLP has advanced rapidly – but adapting models to specific tasks still requires annotated data and expert insight. Active Learning tackles this by involving humans strategically in the learning loop, selecting the most informative examples to label. This makes model training more efficient and effective with fewer annotations.

On June 26th in Kassel, you’ll be introduced to Human-in-the-Loop Learning and (Deep) Active Learning, and design your own Active Learning cycle in Python during a hands-on session.

Attendance is free.
