Abstract：
:Classification of cancerous genes from microarray data is an important research area in bioinformatics. Large amount of microarray data are available, but it is very costly to label them. This paper proposes an active learning model, a semi-supervised classification approach, to label the microarray data using which predictions can be made even with lesser amount of labeled data. Initially, a pool of unlabeled instances is given from which some instances are randomly chosen for labeling. Successive selection of instances to be labeled from unlabeled pool is determined by selection algorithms. The proposed method is devised following an ensemble approach to combine the decisions of three classifiers in order to arrive at a consensus which provides a more accurate prediction of the class label to ensure that each individual classifier learns in an uncorrelated manner. Our method combines the heuristic techniques used by an active learning algorithm to choose training samples with the multiple learning paradigm attained by an ensemble to optimize the search space by choosing efficiently from an already sparse learning pool. On evaluating the proposed method on 10 microarray datasets, we achieve performance which is comparable with state-of-the-art methods. The code and datasets are given at https://github.com/anuran-Chakraborty/Active-learning. Flowchart of the proposed ensemble-based active learning framework.
