Why not Deeo Learning?

What is the learning here ?

Learnt is a weird word.

Sounds like 'validated learning' to me, see http://theleanstartup.com/principles

I was referring to the context related to the learning process and word meaning, the description doesn't explain that.

The other comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23767827 links to an article with more details. This is what I was missing.

Don't you mean learnings?

drsopp | karma 285 | avg karma 2.42 · | 2017-11-18 18:57:16+00:00

They refer to the learning cone a.k.a. the learning pyramid. That model needs to die.

What is your definition of learning? I’ve generally seen it being defined as getting better performance on a task, given data.

sabertoothed | karma 616 | avg karma 2.23 · | 2016-12-28 00:55:34+00:00

You might want to look up the definition of 'learning' from Arthur Samuel / Tom Mitchell. That might help you in your confusion.

It was promoted as hard to learn? What. Neither definition fits.

I've never heard of meta-learning, but about a year ago I stumbled onto a branch of philosophy called epistemology or the Theory of Knowledge. My studies there have been absolutely exhilarating and disturbing.

Next time you see someone at the coffee machine, ask them them what is meant by knowledge, reason, belief, truth, evidence, opinion, conviction, and hypocrisy.

The incoherent jumble you'll get back is indicative of the broken and sloppy process of the attempt to process data into knowledge (learning).

so you're describing diffused learning? is that the default mode? havent taken the course so idk what the take on it is

So we're just giving a new name to "learning skills"? What?

drKarl | karma 1779 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2012-05-27 09:52:39+00:00

I guess the name is a portmanteau of Learn and Academy, but the first thing that came to my mind was Learn Enemy, the enemy of learning...

perilunar | karma 2349 | avg karma 1.57 · | 2020-12-23 23:13:36

'new learnings'?

FFS, the word is lessons.

'Learnings' is stupid business speak.

It would be nice to know what this is. Learning can change all it wants, but no one will care unless they know how.

gaganyaan | karma 865 | avg karma 1.71 · | 2023-08-29 07:04:58

Are you really asserting that these models aren't learning? What definition of learning are you using?
