cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	15 There are two main ways of using a learning algorithms, and some learning
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	16 algorithms only support one of them. The first is the way of the standard
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	17 machine learning framework, in which a learning algorithm is applied
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	18 to a training dataset,

cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	21
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	22 resulting in a fully trained model that can be applied to another dataset:

cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	26 Note that the application of a dataset has no side-effect on the model.
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	27 In that example, the training set may for example have 'input' and 'target'
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	28 fields while the input dataset may have only 'input' (or both 'input' and
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	29 'target') and the output dataset would contain some default output fields defined
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	30 by the learning algorithm (e.g. 'output' and 'error').
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	31
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	32 The second way of using a learning algorithm is in the online or
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	33 adaptive framework, where the training data are only revealed in pieces
cb6b945acf5a Complete redesign of learner... Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 180 diff changeset	34 (maybe one example or a batch of example at a time):
