Learning With a Nontrivial Teacher
Presidential Lectures are free public colloquia centered on four main themes: Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Neuroscience and Autism Science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are intended to foster discourse and drive discovery among the broader NYC-area research community. We invite those interested in the topic 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.
