The adaptive personalization framework is based on a patient profile created by combining an electronic patient data captur...

The paper deals with the following problem: is returning to wrong conjectures necessary to achieve full power of learning? Returning to wrong conjectures complements the paradigm of U-shaped learning [3,7,9,23,27] when a learner returns to old correct conjectures. We explore our problem for classical models of learning in the limit: TxtEx-learning – when a learner stabilizes on a correct conjec...
