Learning Alternatives:

چکیده
PERSONAL ATTENTION for each student—not a cliché but a reality in any size school enrollment —is the missing link in the overwhelming number of cases of youth who are labeled “unmotivated.” For most, a successful reversal to “motivated” requires a search for a confluence of mind, spirit, and body. Evaluating only cognitive growth through language and math scores begs the question, for almost always the desired outcomes involve a priority focus on the affective and/or psychomotor components of living and learning.

A feedback control structure for on-line learning tasks
This paper addresses adaptive control architectures for systems that respond autonomously to changing tasks. Such systems often have many sensory and motor alternatives and behavior drawn from these produces varying quality solutions. The objective is then to ground behavior in control laws which, combined with resources , enumerate closed-loop behavioral alternatives. Use of such controllers l...
متن کاملFollowing the crowd can lead people who learn only from their own experience to agree with a mistaken majority
People sometimes agree with the beliefs of the majority even when the majority is wrong. This has been attributed to social learning or motivated cognition: people would believe that the majority is likely to be correct because it is more numerous or they would adjust their beliefs to conform to the prevailing norm. In this paper, we propose a novel explanation for the evaluative advantage of p...
متن کاملDyad Ranking Using a Bilinear Plackett-Luce Model
Preference learning is an emerging subfield of machine learning, which deals with the induction of preference models from observed or revealed preference information [2]. Such models are typically used for prediction purposes, for example, to predict context-dependent preferences of individuals on various choice alternatives. Depending on the representation of preferences, individuals, alternat...
متن کاملShunning uncertainty: The neglect of learning opportunities
Financial, managerial, and medical decisions often involve alternatives whose possible outcomes have uncertain probabilities. In contrast to alternatives whose probabilities are known, these uncertain alternatives offer the benefits of learning. In repeat-choice situations, such learning brings value. If probabilities appear favorable (unfavorable), a choice can be repeated (avoided). In a seri...
متن کاملReinforcement learning from comparisons: Three alternatives is enough, two is not
The paper deals with the problem of finding the best alternatives on the basis of pairwise comparisons when these comparisons need not be transitive. In this setting, we study a reinforcement urn model. We prove convergence to the optimal solution when reinforcement of a winning alternative occurs each time after considering three random alternatives. The simpler process, which reinforces the w...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning Leads to Risk Averse Behavior
Animals and humans often have to choose between options with reward distributions that are initially unknown and can only be learned through experience. Recent experimental and theoretical work has demonstrated that such decision processes can be modeled using computational models of reinforcement learning (Daw et al, 2006; Erev & Barron, 2005; Sutton & Barto, 1998). In these models, agents use...
