What is Prompt-Based Learning? – Definition from Techopedia

What Does Prompt-Based Learning Mean? Prompt-based learning is a strategy that machine learning engineers can use to train large language models (LLMs) so that the same model can be used for different tasks without re-training. Traditional strategies for training large language models such as GPT-3 and BERT require the model to be pre-trained with unlabeled data and then fine-tuned for specific tasks with labeled data.

The quality of the output generated by a prompt-based model is highly dependent on the quality…

Advocates worried that in putting forward the rule, OCR might formally propose adopting the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, which has been criticized for conflating censure of Israel with anti-Jewish bigotry. But December came and went…

How Do We Define and Measure “Deeper Learning”?

Common Core State Standards, which begin to push towards critical reasoning and problem solving and application of knowledge, are only being applied to math and literacy, he said. “What about…

The legal definition of adequate education collides with a broader definition of everything involved

May 5—As early as next month, a judge could decide what constitutes an adequate public school education in New Hampshire and what it costs to fund it.
