1. The last strategy belongs to the expected error reduction based methods. The original Value of Information (VoI) criterion as suggested by Joshi et al.[13] selects the instance x_i that minimizes a risk measure defined by them.
It has to mentioned that the computational effort of this algorithm forced us to exclude it from the experiments on the vehicle and yeast datasets, since they possess a large number of instances and/or classes, leading to infeasible execution times.
