  We consider the problem of learning when obtaining the training labels is
costly, which is usually tackled in the literature using active-learning
techniques. These approaches provide strategies to choose the examples to label
before or during training. These strategies are usually based on heuristics or
even theoretical measures, but are not learned as they are directly used during
training. We design a model which aims at \textit{learning active-learning
strategies} using a meta-learning setting. More specifically, we consider a
pool-based setting, where the system observes all the examples of the dataset
of a problem and has to choose the subset of examples to label in a single
shot. Experiments show encouraging results.
