Optimize preference discovery with intelligent sampling
Focus on samples where the model is least confident. Perfect for refining decision boundaries.
85% efficiency for boundary refinement
Maximize coverage of the latent space using furthest-point sampling algorithms.
90% efficiency for initial exploration
Select samples that would most change the model if labeled. Optimal for rapid convergence.
75% efficiency for model improvement
Dynamically switch between strategies based on learning progress and user engagement.
95% overall efficiency
Identify preference clusters and sample representatively from each discovered mode.
80% efficiency for multi-modal
Always show the current best predictions plus strategic exploration samples.
70% efficiency, 95% satisfaction

Begin with furthest-point sampling to establish a broad understanding of user preferences. This prevents early bias and ensures all preference modes are discoverable.
Track response times and consistency. Switch to exploitation-heavy strategies when users show signs of fatigue (slower responses, inconsistent ratings).
Use the 70/30 rule: 70% samples near known preferences, 30% exploration. Adjust based on application (entertainment: 80/20, research: 50/50).
Always include pre-marked negative samples in your active learning pool. This prevents the model from exploring inappropriate regions of the latent space.
Preferences change over time. Implement a sliding window approach where recent ratings have higher weight, and periodically re-explore old regions.
