Annals of Business Administrative Science, 2013 The learning curve depicts a decrease in production cost per unit as cumulative volume increases. However, a learning curve does not realize even if the history of production translates into an increase of cumulative volume. It is major premises for cost

Learning to Rank Normalized Entropy Curves with Differentiable Window Transformation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Recent automated machine learning systems often use learning curves ranking models to inform decisions about when to stop unpromising trials and identify better model configurations. In this paper, we present a novel learning curve ranking model specifically tailored for ranking normalized entropy (NE) learning curves, which are commonly used in online

The Shape of Learning Curves: a Review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Learning curves provide insight into the dependence of a learner's generalization performance on the training set size. This important tool can be used for model selection, to predict the effect of more training data, and to reduce the computational complexity of model training and hyperparameter tuning.
