Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Traditional supervised learning algorithms choose labeled training examples in a given sequence passively. However, in many real-world situations, a learner can choose which training example to learn, and its goal is to minimize the number of mistakes that the learner currently predicts for such training examples. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective human-oriented supervised learning paradigm, Self-Directed Learner (SDL), which explicitly exploits a human learning strategy to solve this problem. SDL chooses the example that is predicted with the most certain label to learn and updates its model gradually. We conduct the experiments on a well-known educational software with both our learning algorithm and human beings. The experiment results show that HOL is able to minimize the number of mistakes efficiently. In addition, it models the human learning process much better than other learning algorithms.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
