Model Training & Adaptation
Curriculum learning
Training that presents examples in a planned progression from easier to harder.
Example
Training begins with easy classification examples before introducing harder ambiguous cases.
Why it matters
It can make learning more manageable by building on simpler abilities first.
You'll hear it
“Let's introduce the ambiguous cases after the basic ones.”
Can you control it?
Set by the team
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Is easy always the same for people and AI?
- No. A task that seems simple to a person may be difficult for a particular system.
- Can the order of teaching examples matter?
- Yes. Earlier learning can affect how later material is handled.
- Does every task benefit from an easy-to-hard order?
- No. The effect depends on the examples, method and abilities being learned.
