Now in stock! Demonstrating how #learning theories are applicable to a variety of real-world contexts, this book will help #library workers better understand how people learn so that they can improve support for #instruction on their campuses and in their communities. https://www.alastore.ala.org/learningtheory

I’ve just read this paper by Karen Becker and Adelle Bish in which they offer this framework of the #onboarding of new employees in #organizations from a #LearningTheory perspective. I find their arguments about the relevance of the concept of #unlearning in this context particularly suggestive.

Tong Zhang has a book on the tools of #LearningTheory (theoretical analysis of why #MachineLearning algorithms work). If you want to learn about concentration inequalities, generalization error, regret bounds, and more, have a look.

I've been geeking out lately re-reading some of my favorite Learning Theory stuff. Vygotsky, Cole, Wertsch, Bakhtin, Marx, Engestrom...

I gave a talk today to a group of faculty from a variety of disciplines. I knew it couldn't be theory-heavy, but I made sure to build it into the framing and also wrap back in the claims and conclusions.

We know a lot about teaching and learning, and our work should build on good Theory.

A #thread of recent papers coauthored by Eörs Szathmáry on learning and evolution, covering Darwinian principles in the immune system, brain, Bayesian learning theory.

Mentioned in today's #KLIAustria #KLIColloquium talk.

Going live at 9am PST / 17:00 UTC! Teach Jenn Tech and I talk #python, #LearningTheory, and general tech things.

I got a suggestion to use hashtags to help kickstart my network here. So here's a hashtag-dense list of my interests:

I'm a data-focused #machinelearning engineer at #Apple, working with #PyTorch, #Spark, and #Python which I write with a #Haskell accent. I used to work in #LearningTheory at the ANU.

I enjoy long distance #running and #trailrunning and recently finished my first #ultramarathon.

In my spare time I make electronic #modularsynth / #eurorack music and play #jazz #piano and #bass.
