Abstract
A problem of imbalanced big data is solved by decoupling a classifier into a neural network for generation of representation vectors and into a classification model for operating on the representation vectors. The neural network and the classification model act as a mapper classifier. The neural network is trained with an unsupervised algorithm and the classification model is trained with a supervised active learning loop. An acquisition function is used in the supervised active learning loop to speed arrival at an accurate classification performance, improving data efficiency. The accuracy of the hybrid classifier is similar to or exceeds the accuracy of comparative classifiers in all aspects. In some embodiments, big data includes an imbalance of more than 10:1 in image classes. The hybrid classifier reduces labor and improves efficiency needed to arrive at an accurate classification performance, and improves recognition of previously-unrecognized images.
