Few-shot learning is challenging for learning algorithms that learn each task in isolation and from scratch. In contrast, meta-learning learns from many related tasks a meta-learner that can learn a new task more accurately and faster with…
A substantial disadvantage of traditional learning is that all students follow the same learning sequence, but not all of them have the same background of knowledge, the same preferences, the same learning goals, and the same needs.…
Machine Learning, however popular and accessible, is computationally intensive and highly power-consuming, prompting interest in alternative physical implementations of learning tasks. We introduce a training scheme for physical systems…
