modAL 0.3.4

New features

• To handle the case when the maximum utility score is not unique, a random tie break option was introduced. From this version, passing random_tie_break=True to the query strategies first shuffles the pool then uses a stable sorting to find the instances to query. In the case where the maximum utility score is not unique, it is equivalent of randomly sampling from the top scoring instances.

Changes

• modAL.expected_error.expected_error_reduction runtime improved by omitting unnecessary cloning of the estimator for every instance in the pool.
