Machines

336
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.

Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

532
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

A toggle clamp is a mechanical device commonly used for holding and clamping objects in various applications, such as woodworking, metalworking, and assembly operations. Consider a toggle clamp subjected to a force of 200 N at the handle. The vertical clamping force can be calculated, provided the dimensions of the toggle clamp are known.
The toggle clamp system is a machine structure consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that form a stabilized system to transmit forces. The...

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

207
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive Learning

521
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

    Area of Science:

    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Machine Learning
    • Computer Science

    Background:

    • Lifelong learning aims to enhance model performance on current, past, and future tasks.
    • Traditional transfer learning and continual learning methods often struggle with forgetting past task performance when learning new tasks.
    • Current lifelong learning research focuses on preventing performance degradation on prior tasks, potentially setting the goal too low.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a simple approach, representation ensembling, for achieving both forward and backward transfer in lifelong learning.
    • To demonstrate that the goal of lifelong learning should be to improve performance on both future and past tasks.
    • To evaluate the proposed method's effectiveness across diverse datasets and compare it against reference algorithms.

    Main Methods:

    • The study proposes and evaluates a representation ensembling method for lifelong learning.
    • The approach is tested on various simulated and benchmark datasets, including tabular, vision (CIFAR-100, 5-dataset, Split Mini-Imagenet, Food1k, CORe50), and speech (spoken digit) data.
    • The method's flexibility regarding computational budget constraints is also assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Representation ensembling demonstrated significant forward transfer (improving future task performance) and backward transfer (improving past task performance).
    • The proposed method outperformed various reference algorithms, which often failed to achieve either forward or backward transfer, or both.
    • The approach proved effective across a wide range of data modalities and benchmark scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • Representation ensembling is a simple yet powerful technique for achieving robust lifelong learning.
    • The findings suggest that lifelong learning systems should actively leverage past data to improve performance on both prior and future tasks.
    • The proposed method offers a flexible and effective solution for continual learning challenges, adaptable to varying computational resources.
