First, it is non-trivial to determine which samples to
annotate with incomplete knowledge of the whole
test domain. Second, it requires updating models in
an online fashion with few labeled samples and many
unlabeled samples. It is non-trivial to effectively
exploit the large unlabeled data with few labeled
samples with an initial model. Lastly, given very few
labeled samples we should avoid overfitting the
model to the limited labeled data. We aim to develop
a stream active learning paradigm which is suitable
for TTA with distribution shift in the target domain.
