Memory-Limited U-Shaped Learning
U-shaped learning is a learning behaviour in which the learner first learns something, then unlearns it and finally relearns it. Such a behaviour, observed by psychologists, for example, in the learning of past-tenses of English verbs, has been widely discussed among psychologists and cognitive scientists as a fundamental example of the non-monotonicity of learning. Previous theory literature h...
متن کاملVariations on U-Shaped Learning
The paper deals with the following problem: is returning to wrong conjectures necessary to achieve full power of algorithmic learning? Returning to wrong conjectures complements the paradigm of U-shaped learning [3,7,9,24,29] when a learner returns to old correct conjectures. We explore our problem for classical models of learning in the limit from positive data: explanatory learning (when a le...
متن کاملSynthesizing developmental trajectories
Dynamical processes in biology are studied using an ever-increasing number of techniques, each of which brings out unique features of the system. One of the current challenges is to develop systematic approaches for fusing heterogeneous datasets into an integrated view of multivariable dynamics. We demonstrate that heterogeneous data fusion can be successfully implemented within a semi-supervis...
متن کاملUsing developmental trajectories to understand developmental disorders.
PURPOSE In this article, the authors present a tutorial on the use of developmental trajectories for studying language and cognitive impairments in developmental disorders and compare this method with the use of matching. METHOD The authors assess the strengths, limitations, and practical implications of each method. The contrast between the methodologies is highlighted using the example of d...
متن کاملDevelopmental model of suicide trajectories.
BACKGROUND Most developmental studies on suicide do not take into account individual variations in suicide trajectories. AIMS Using a life course approach, this study explores developmental models of suicide trajectories. METHOD Two hundred and fourteen suicides were assessed with mixed methods. Statistical analysis using combined discrete-time survival (DTS) and growth mixture modelling (G...
