Lessons in Learning

Machine learning has become an indispensible tool for the multimedia community. Given large amounts of data, computers using machine learning are able to create rich representations and accomplish impressive discrimination tasks. Yet, the way machines learn is still differs significantly from how humans learn. EIC John R. Smith explains that the way forward is for the multimedia field to create appropriate lesson plans or more generally develop curriculum-based approaches to multimedia machine learning.
