Learning Record

A Learning Record is a data record (with learning record attributes) that is intended as task input to a learning task.

• AKA: Exemplar, Example for Learning.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) be a Feature Vectors.
  • It can (typically) be a member of a Learning Record Set.
  • It can range from being a Training Record to being a Testing Record.
  • It can range from being a High-Dimensional Learning Record to being a Low-Dimensional Learning Record.
  • It can range from being a Labeled Learning Record to being an Unlabeled Learning Record, if it has a Target Attribute.
• Example(s):
  • a Tuple Learning Record.
  • a Vector Learning Record, e.g. a fixed-length feature vector.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Transactional Database Record.
• See: Random Experiment Outcome.
