• • Motivation for the package

    • Most current packages do not have the notion of "raw data". They only take in feature vectors as input.

    • They offer very little flexibility for labeling. For example, how to display examples to the user, what instructions to show etc.

• A survey on active learning

• Source code on GitHub (the master branch)
