Being taught can be faster than asking questions

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Measuring teachability using variants of the teaching dimension (2008, methodology): “The teaching dimension has been studied in the context of online learning by Ben-David and Eiron [8] and by Rivest and Yin [29] .”
The Teaching Dimension of Linear Learners (2015, background): “ Work Teaching dimension as a learning-theoretic quantity has attracted a long history of research. It was proposed independently in [13, 23]. Subsequent theoretical developments can be found in e.g. [26, 7, 2, 3, 14, 18, 6, 5, 17, 4, 22, 9, 12]. Most of them assume little extra knowledge on the lea”
Teacher Improves Learning by Selecting a Training Subset (2018, background): “The theoretical study of machine teaching has focused on the teaching dimension, i.e. the minimum training set size needed to exactly teach a target concept θ ∗ [20, 38, 46, 18, 29, 45, 16, 44, 48, 9, 3, 4, 21, 31, 8, 7, 25, 5, 36, 23, 10].”
Recent Developments in Algorithmic Teaching (2009, background): “Hegedűs [20, 21], Ben-David and Eiron [12], and Rivest and Yin [31]).”
Self-Directed Learning and Its Relation to the VC-Dimension and to Teacher-Directed Learning (1998, background): “Another related model that was studied (Goldman, Rivest, & Schapire, 1993; Goldman & Kearns, 1995; Rivest & Yin, 1995) is the t acher-directedmodel. In this model, a helpful teacher, who knows the target function, presents labeled examples to the learner. The teaching process is over once only a sin”
