Meta-learning (computer science)Meta learning is a subfield of machine learning where automatic learning algorithms are applied to metadata about machine learning experiments. As of 2017, the term had not found a standard interpretation, however the main goal is to use such metadata to understand how automatic learning can become flexible in solving learning problems, hence to improve the performance of existing learning algorithms or to learn (induce) the learning algorithm itself, hence the alternative term learning to learn.
BoostingLe boosting est un domaine de l'apprentissage automatique (branche de l'intelligence artificielle). C'est un principe qui regroupe de nombreux algorithmes qui s'appuient sur des ensembles de classifieurs binaires : le boosting optimise leurs performances. Le principe est issu de la combinaison de classifieurs (appelés également hypothèses). Par itérations successives, la connaissance d'un classifieur faible - weak classifier - est ajoutée au classifieur final - strong classifier.
NeocognitronNOTOC The neocognitron is a hierarchical, multilayered artificial neural network proposed by Kunihiko Fukushima in 1979. It has been used for Japanese handwritten character recognition and other pattern recognition tasks, and served as the inspiration for convolutional neural networks. The neocognitron was inspired by the model proposed by Hubel & Wiesel in 1959. They found two types of cells in the visual primary cortex called simple cell and complex cell, and also proposed a cascading model of these two types of cells for use in pattern recognition tasks.
Vanishing gradient problemIn machine learning, the vanishing gradient problem is encountered when training artificial neural networks with gradient-based learning methods and backpropagation. In such methods, during each iteration of training each of the neural networks weights receives an update proportional to the partial derivative of the error function with respect to the current weight. The problem is that in some cases, the gradient will be vanishingly small, effectively preventing the weight from changing its value.
Machine à vecteurs de supportLes machines à vecteurs de support ou séparateurs à vaste marge (en anglais support-vector machine, SVM) sont un ensemble de techniques d'apprentissage supervisé destinées à résoudre des problèmes de discrimination et de régression. Les SVM sont une généralisation des classifieurs linéaires. Les séparateurs à vaste marge ont été développés dans les années 1990 à partir des considérations théoriques de Vladimir Vapnik sur le développement d'une théorie statistique de l'apprentissage : la théorie de Vapnik-Tchervonenkis.
