It would make sense if you could get electronic textbooks which are already in the question/answer form required by spaced repetition software, ready to "load and learn". Rather than reading a traditional textbook, you would take an equivalent question/answer set and learn it by spaced repetition. Do such things exist?
Following on from that, maybe such question answer sets could be automatically generated from the semantic web? A simple example would be a question/answer set about capital cities, but could one pick an arbitrary subject and manufacture a list of questions about it?

Rather than reading a traditional textbook, you would take an equivalent question/answer set and learn it by spaced repetition. Do such things exist? I am working to solve exactly this. A form of learning where the learning happens due to interaction between a bot and a human. Machine teaching humans basically. Been working for over 20 months. Will be releasing within two weeks. :)
- ipsum2 8y agoI'm guessing your username is relevant :). Using AI for intelligence amplification? Excited to hear about your project.
- ai_ia 8y agoHaha. Thanks. The project doesn't use AI at all. I figured out that you don't really require the system to pass turing test in order to develop tutoring system. It can assist in clever ways. That being said, Primer ( the tutoring system ) will teach ML/DL/RL courses.

- Aduket 8y agokeep me updated please, good luck.

- afro88 8y agoI would like to know more about this. Do you have a mailing list I can add myself to for a notification when you release?
- ai_ia 8y agoThanks. You can sign up at this mailing list: https://tinyletter.com/primerlabs/ https://tinyletter.com/primerlabs/ here. I created it just now.
- Mahoutsukai 8y agoAlso interested, would love to sign up if possible :)
- ai_ia 8y agoThanks :) You can sign up at this mailing list for a while. Expect a mail within two weeks for the launch. https://tinyletter.com/primerlabs/ https://tinyletter.com/primerlabs/
- amorphous 8y agoWell, creating the questions and answers yourself is actually part of the effort required to learn effectively.
- medntech 8y agoStrongly agree with this. I'm a medical student with a flashcard deck of 25K cards. The cards I remember best are the ones I took the time to create.
- FabHK 8y agoA friend of mine had a startup aiming to do that in Singapore: optimised learning by frequent recall of byte-sized factoids (comprising a whole coherent subject area though) with a targeted success rate (similar to the SuperMemo spaced repetition method). It was called TokTol (Tree of knowledge, tree of learning), and produced some nice study units (mostly adapted to the Singaporean high school curriculum in the sciences).
- Scarblac 8y agoThis wouldn't work that well, you don't learn a complex subject just by flash cards. First you need to understand the subject, then you can formulate useful flash cards, then you can work on remembering them.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoWhat's the deficit in using a premade card set? Does it not work at all (for you?), take longer, focus on the wrong weaknesses?
- Scarblac 8y agoTake much longer to learn, but especially they can't be applied when learned as I don't know why I need to learn those things, how they belong together, when it is important that a situation is slightly different and when not, et cetera. There's no knowledge, just factoids.
