What is learning?

  • Intelligent behaviour requires learning or the ability to adapt & gather useful knowledge
  • In computing, it is the process of sensing & inferring new facts to update the knowledge base to be used in future
  • What are the forms of learning?

    • Rote learning: memorizing e.g.
    • Feature extraction & induction: picking out impt. characteristics to build a predictive model
    • Clustering: organize similar patterns into groups
    • Online learning: agent adapting while working
    • Offline learning: saving data while working & training while free
  • Supervised learning: input data + desired outputs
  • Unsupervised learning: input data only
  • Reinforcement learning: softer supervised learning where desired outputs not hard & imposed, general feedback
  • Neural networks?

    • Parallel, low-level cognitive network with a collection of independent neurons linked by connection weights where learning means adjustments of the weights
  • Back-propagation networks: NN using backward propagation of error algorithms
  • Kohonen map: unsupervised, feedforward, clustering for patterns
  • Others?

    • Decision trees: using information theory to split & classify data sets
  • Classifier systems: learning systems using GA to modify rule base
