Learning With a Nontrivial Teacher
Presidential Lectures are a series of free public colloquia spotlighting groundbreaking research across four themes: neuroscience and autism science, physics, biology, and mathematics and computer science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are designed to foster discussion and drive discovery within the New York City research community. We invite those interested in these topics to join us for this weekly lecture series.
In this lecture, Vladimir Vapnik will discuss how the LUPI learning model can take the form of comments, descriptions, metaphoric reasoning and other teaching tactics. He will describe the goal of the model — to develop good decision rules even when only a small number of examples is provided.
If this lecture is videotaped, it will be posted here after production.
