Learnability

open access: yes, 2003
This chapter discusses usability in terms of the concept of learnability, that is, what makes the content of an online learning site learnable? It considers three core issues underlying learnability: learning theory, instructional design, and curriculum choices. For learning, it proposes a model integrating comprehension, interest, and memorizing.

Evaluating software learnability: A learnability attributes model

2012 International Conference on Systems and Informatics (ICSAI2012), 2012
Learnability has been regarded as a fundamental usability attribute and plays a significant role for the success of software applications. Good learnability not only leads to a better productivity quickly but also plays a vital role in initial adoption or rejection of a technology.

Learnability

open access: yes, 2016
The study of natural language learnability is necessarily multidisciplinary. Its aim is to devise and evaluate possible psychological mechanisms by which a system bounded by the cognitive capabilities and linguistic exposure of a young child might be able to arrive at rich knowledge of an adult human language.

Learnability and Automatizability

45th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2004
We consider the complexity of properly learning concept classes, i.e. when the learner must output a hypothesis of the same form as the unknown concept. We present the following upper and lower bounds on well-known concept classes: 1) We show that unless NP = RP, there is no polynomial-time PAC learning algorithm for DNF formulae where the hypothesis ...

Learnability theory

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013
AbstractLearnability theory is a body of mathematical and computational results concerning questions such as: when is learning possible? What prior information is required to support learning? What computational or other resources are required for learning to be possible?

A theory of learnability

Kybernetik, 1973
A new theory of learning is presented. Learning has been discussed by philosophers as a problem of acquiring knowledge. Historically, we can distinguish empiricism and rationalism. The rationalist insists that the essential part of our knowledge is innately built in ourselves, while the empiricist asserts that all knowledge derives from experience. The

A theory of the learnable

Communications of the ACM, 1984
Humans appear to be able to learn new concepts without needing to be programmed explicitly in any conventional sense. In this paper we regard learning as the phenomenon of knowledge acquisition in the absence of explicit programming. We give a precise methodology for studying this phenomenon from a computational viewpoint.

Learnable And Non-learnable Visual Concepts

[1988 Proceedings] Second International Conference on Computer Vision, 1990
Valiant's theory of the learnable is applied to visual concepts in digital pictures. Several visual concepts that are easily perceived by humans are shown to be learnable from positive examples. These concepts include a certain type of inaccurate copies of line drawings, identifying a subset of objects at specific locations, and pictures of lines in a ...
