Vladimir Vapnik's New Learning Model

Too Long; Didn't Read

Vladimir Vapnik recently gave a talk about a new theory of learning he is working on. The theory involves the concept of a “teacher” that provides the learning algorithm with privileged examples that can speed up learning. The inspiration came from the observation that humans require far more examples to learn than current machine learning algorithms. The talk can be found here. The text on the board is a reference to a classic computer game - a classic version of the classic game ‘Game of Thrones’.
