The MENTOR project, based at the University of Strathclyde, is producing multimedia computer based learning materials with the aim of improving both the effectiveness and the efficiency of teaching Operational Research/Management Science in higher education. The process of development has been carefully designed to encourage ownership of and commitment to the materials amongst lecturing staff in...
I consider the question How should one act when the only goal is to learn as much as possible? . Building on the theoretical results of Fedorov (1972, Theory of Optimal Experiments, Academic Press) and MacKay (1992, Neural Computation, 4, 590-604), I apply techniques from optimal experiment design (OED) to guide the query/action selection of a neural network learner. I demonstrate that these techniques...
In previous work, we developed a method for active selection of exemplars called ΔISB. Given a fixed set of exemplars, this method selects a concise subset for training, such that fitting the selected exemplars results in the entire set being fit as well as desired. Our implementation of ΔISB incorporates a method for regulating network complexity, automatically adding exemplars and hidden units...
