Abstract

Here, I present a learning algorithm, referred to as the softening learning algorithm, that imitates the way of learning in human beings. When we encounter a new case (a new input/output relationship), we first check if the knowledge we obtained so far could interpret it. If so, there is no further learning effort involved. If not, we might cram this unfamiliar case; then, meditate to reason out a way of integrating it into our knowledge.
