On the negative hand: An examination of typical active learning algorithms results in the discovery that they are not robust against noise. It is easy to imagine that noise robustness is critical to real- world performance.
A fundamental question is: Can we achieve the exponential improvements of active learning in a robust fashion? The answer is "yes", and I'll explain how.
