The Natural Way To Learn: Learn Without Learning

Learning to learn categories

Learning to categorize objects in the world is more than just learning the specific facts that characterize individual categories. We can also learn more abstract knowledge about how categories in a domain tend to be organized – extending even to categories that we’ve never seen examples of. These abstractions allow us to learn and generalize examples of new categories much more quickly than if...

Learning how to learn

In proportion to our body mass, our brain is three times as large as that of our nearest relatives. This huge organ is dangerous and painful to give birth to, expensive to build and, in a resting human, uses about 20 percent of the body's energy even though it is just 2 percent of the body's weight. There must be some reason for this evolutionary expense [1]. Recently, I lost one of my aunts. S...

Learning to reinforcement learn

In recent years deep reinforcement learning (RL) systems have attained superhuman performance in a number of challenging task domains. However, a major limitation of such applications is their demand for massive amounts of training data. A critical present objective is thus to develop deep RL methods that can adapt rapidly to new tasks. In the present work we introduce a novel approach to this ...

Wrting to learn (WTL) the effects of written assignments on students learning and writing skills

This research aims to develop a model based on writing to learn (WTL) and the effective on promotion of learning and writing skills of students. Therefore, use the nonequivalent control group design with pre- test and post- test. 115 of the undergraduate students of Education University were assigned at random in three groups: Group 1 (short writing assignments), group 2 (analytical essay), and...
