Active Learning K-Nearest Neighbors

Active learning with K-nearest neighbors combines the instance-based prediction of KNN with an iterative query strategy that selects the most informative unlabeled examples for annotation. The model requests labels only for instances where neighborhood vote margins are narrowest, achieving competitive accuracy with far fewer labeled examples than fully supervised KNN on tabular data.
