Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

Multi-task learning (MTL) represents a paradigm shift in the way machine learning models are developed, whereby multiple related tasks are learned simultaneously. By leveraging shared representations ...

If that learning process is robust across a broad range of different tasks, then there's no reason why we shouldn't start seeing a new video like this every other day, as the 01 learns to do ...

Research suggests that some review sessions need to be widely spaced by two months or more from the initial learning. The amount and spacing of foreign language vocabulary learning have an enormous ...

Intrinsic motivation, the internal drive to engage in activities for their inherent satisfaction, is a fundamental aspect of effective learning. This concept, rooted in the principles of ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Parents are much less likely to intervene when their young children are getting dressed or performing other simple chores if those tasks are framed as learning opportunities, according to a new study ...
