Theoretical Models of Learning to Learn

نویسنده

  • Jonathan Baxter
چکیده

A Machine can only learn if it is biased in some way. Typically the bias is supplied by hand, for example through the choice of an appropriate set of features. However, if the learning machine is embedded within an environment of related tasks, then it can learn its own bias by learning suuciently many tasks from the environment 4, 6]. In this paper two models of bias learning (or equivalently, learning to learn) are introduced and the main theoretical results presented. The rst model is a PAC-type model based on empirical process theory, while the second is a hierarchical Bayes model.

What is the Clinical Skills Learning Center (CSLC)?

With shorter periods of hospitalization, fewer in patient beds and more health care facilities in the society patients are now more acutely ill and highly dependent, causing less opportunities for medical students to practice and learn basic clinical skills. On the other hand, enhanced patient rights and other learning limitations require that professional education provide not only knowledge a...

Investigating the Processes and Means Involved in EAP Teacher Learning: A Sociocultural Analysis of In-Service Teachers' Experience as They Professionally Learn

There is little understanding of the processes and means involved in teacher learning. Further research is needed to better understand what happens when teachers learn. Therefore, using sociocultural theory (SCT) as a theoretical framework, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teacher learning was documented and examined. To achieve this goal, an in-depth description of nine in-service EAP teach...

A Novel Face Detection Method Based on Over-complete Incoherent Dictionary Learning

In this paper, face detection problem is considered using the concepts of compressive sensing technique. This technique includes dictionary learning procedure and sparse coding method to represent the structural content of input images. In the proposed method, dictionaries are learned in such a way that the trained models have the least degree of coherence to each other. The novelty of the prop...
