The ASReview team developed a procedure to overcome replication issues in creating a dataset for simulation studies to evaluate the performance of active learning models! In this blog post, we explain this procedure, called the “Noisy Label Filter (NLF) Procedure”. Background: Labelled Data needed for a Simulation Study In an ASReview simulation study, you can…
Seven ways to integrate ASReview in your systematic review workflow Systematic reviewing using software implementing Active Learning (AL) is relatively new. Many users (and reviewers) have to get familiar with the many different ways how AL can be used in practice. In this blog post, we discuss seven ways meant to inspire users. Use ASReview…
Active Learning Explained The rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed the development of AI-aided pipelines that assist in finding relevant texts for such search tasks[1]. A well-established approach to increasing the efficiency of screening large amounts of textual data is screening prioritization[2, 3] with active learning[4]. Screening prioritization re-arranges the records to…
