The machine learner (the computer) is like a student The goal of machine learning is to develop models that will prove useful in the future
Practical tasks like speech recognition are aided by machine learning. Machine teaching turns this concept on its ear. Rather than dealing with pools of data and not knowing at the outset what patterns might be revealed through analysis,
or she wants to impress upon the learner. Machine teaching uses sophisticated mathematics to allow researchers to model actual human students and devise the best possible lessons for teaching them.
While the definition of estin a particular setting is up to the teacher one example could be identifying the smallest number of exercises needed for a particular student to grasp a concept.
Or, as Zhu puts it, an five really good questions teach the material, rather than 20?
Timothy T. Rogers, a professor of cognitive psychology at UW-Madison and one of Zhu collaborators, explains how computer science
it needs a good model of how the learner behaves that is, how the learner behavior changes with different kinds of learning
or practice experiences, Rogers says. lso, the model needs to be computational; it has to be able to make concrete, quantitative predictions about the learner behavior.?
Ultimately, we hope that the work can be used to help teachers develop lesson plans and curricula that promote learning in a wide variety of fields,
Rogers says, citing math, science and reading as examples. nd, just as important, the effort to bring cognitive models of learning to bear on real-world problems is bound to lead to important new advances in our understanding of how people learn generally. hu presented some of his research earlier this year in Austin, Texas, at the 29th annual
