Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Three dimensions seem to be particularly important for evaluating the constructed representations :validity, effectiveness, and abstraction level.... The third criterion, abstraction level, reflects the scope, detail and precision of concepts used in the description. It defines the explanatory power of the representation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La qualité d'un apprentissage se mesure en évaluant ce qui a été appris. On utilise en général trois critères d'évaluation : la validité, l'utilité et le niveau d'abstraction de ce qui a été appris. On préférera des acquis plus abstraits dans la mesure où ils renferment une plus grande quantité d'information; le niveau d'abstraction influence également la capacité d'explication du système sur ce qu'il a appris.
