The last time I looked at a dictionary, all definitions are circular. So you win. > P.S. The above definition is broken anyway: what about unsupervised > learning? What about learning by analogy? I should have specified supervised learning as an application of AIXI. There are subsets, H, of Turing machines for which there are efficient algorithms for finding a small h in H that is consistent with the training data. Examples include decision trees, neural networks, polynomial regression, clustering, etc. However AIXI does not necessarily imply learning. There are other approaches. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=11983
