In this paper, we introduce new active learning methods based on measuring the impact of a new example on the current model. This is done by deriving model changes of Gaussian process models in closed form. Furthermore, we study typical pitfalls in active learning and show that our methods automatically balance between the exploitation and the exploration trade-off. Experiments are performed with established benchmark datasets for visual object recognition and show that our new active learning techniques are able to outperform state-of-the-art methods.}, code = {https://github.com/cvjena/activeLearning-GP}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-40602-7_31}, groups = {gaussianprocesses,activelearning,lifelonglearning}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40602-7_31}, }
