Improving Active Learning in Systematic Reviews

Understand

Systematic reviews are essential to summarizing the results of different clinical and social science studies.

• The first step in a systematic review task is to identify all the studies relevant to the review.
• The task of identifying relevant studies for a given systematic review is usually performed manually, and as a result, involves substantial amounts of expensive human resource.
• Lately, there have been some attempts to reduce this manual effort using active learning.
