Adaptive Curriculum

Adaptive curriculum learning focuses on dynamically adjusting the order and difficulty of training data to optimize learning efficiency and generalization. Current research explores various approaches, including reinforcement learning algorithms like contextual bandits and restless multi-armed bandits, and self-supervised methods that generate curricula without task-specific knowledge, often leveraging neural networks and incorporating concepts like feature disentanglement. This field is significant because it improves the performance and robustness of machine learning models across diverse applications, from educational systems and medical image analysis to robotics and solving complex optimization problems, by addressing challenges like data imbalance and the need for efficient training.
