Spaced repetition is more than memorization – it's also generalization
- BadHumans 2y agoI'm assuming this article is meant for the general public and not people in specific industry but I don't know what generalization means in this context and this article does a piss poor job of explaining it. Constantly repeating "generalization of learning" doesn't get me any closer to understanding.
- novariation 2y agoGeneralization is standard lingo in machine learning – it's about going from known data (training set / test set) to new data which shares the same underlying patterns but wasn't available at learning time. Taking the posts simple polynomial example, it would be going from 4x^2 + 2x -3 = 0 to 2x^2 -5x +2 = 0 or more generally to ax^2 + bx + c = 0
- Etheryte 2y agoI mean, just the standard dictionary meaning of generalization works just fine here, no? I had no problems following the article.
- JustinSkycak 2y agoThe intended audience is people who are knowledgeable about spaced repetition, and such people typically know what generalization means in the context of learning.
- bilsbie 2y agoCould this work for training AI? Has anyone tried?
- nsagent 2y agoIt's been tried and seemingly works well! https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.06131 https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.06131
