Definition
In proactive learning, the AI system determines which samples would most reduce uncertainty or improve model performance, often through active learning or exploration strategies. This contrasts with passive learning where data is randomly sampled. By focusing on high-value instances, the model achieves higher accuracy with fewer labeled examples, optimizing resource usage in scenarios where data acquisition is expensive or time-consuming.
Summary
A learning strategy where the agent actively selects informative data points to query or explore rather than passively receiving them.
