TRIAL-AND-ERROR LEARNING [6 records]

Record 1 2024-08-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

In AI [artificial intelligence], error-driven learning is a method of learning where the AI system is constantly making predictions and then being corrected when it makes a mistake. This allows the AI to learn from its mistakes and improve its predictions over time.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Stochastic gradient algorithms are widely used for large-scale learning and inference problems. However, their use in practice is typically guided by heuristics and trial-and-error rather than rigorous, generalizable theory.

CONT

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its variants have established themselves as the go-to algorithms for large-scale machine learning problems with independent samples due to their generalization performance and intrinsic computational advantage.

Record 4 2008-07-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour
  • Human Behaviour
CONT

Trial-and-error learning occurs when an animal striving toward an objective accidentally performs the appropriate behaviour. If the situation is repeated and the solution again found, it will gradually be incorporated into the animal' s behaviour as a direct response to the situation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
  • Comportement humain
CONT

Apprentissage : Modification adaptative du comportement au cours d'épreuves répétées. On distingue, chez les animaux, l'apprentissage par essais et erreurs, donnant une courbe de progrès soumise à d'assez fortes oscillations jusqu'à un pourcentage élevé de réactions correctes, et l'apprentissage intuitif [...] comportant une adaptation brusque par compréhension.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Informatics
CONT

An advantage of trial-and-error training is that the user gets hands-on experience, develops motor and visual skills at an early stage, and participates in active learning by discovery.

Key term(s)
  • trial and error training

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Informatique
CONT

Cette formation par essais et erreurs ne s'avère pas suffisante pour répondre aux besoins de maîtrise des outils de bureautique communicante (messagerie, traitement de texte, présentation assistée, tableur).
