    abstract = {Incremental learning of visual concepts is one step towards reaching human capabilities beyond closed-world assumptions. Besides recent progress, it remains one of the fundamental challenges in computer vision and machine learning. Along that path, techniques are needed which allow for actively selecting informative examples from a huge pool of unlabeled images to be annotated by application experts. Whereas a manifold of active learning techniques exists, they commonly suffer from one of two drawbacks: (i) either they do not work reliably on challenging real-world data or (ii) they are kernel-based and not scalable with the magnitudes of data current vision applications need to deal with. Therefore, we present an active learning and discovery approach which can deal with huge collections of unlabeled real-world data. Our approach is based on the expected model output change principle and overcomes previous scalability issues. We present experiments on the large-scale MS-COCO dataset and on a dataset provided by biodiversity researchers. Obtained results reveal that our technique clearly improves accuracy after just a few annotations. At the same time, it outperforms previous active learning approaches in academic and real-world scenarios. },
