What is learning? 20$^{st}$ century formalizations of learning theory -- which precipitated revolutions in artificial intelligence -- focus primarily on $\mathit{in-distribution}$ learning, that is, learning under the assumption that the training data are sampled from the same distribution as the evaluation distribution. This assumption renders these theories inadequate for characterizing 21$^{st}$ century real world data problems, which are typically characterized by evaluation distributions that differ from the training data distributions (referred to as out-of-distribution learning). We therefore make a small change to existing formal definitions of learnability by relaxing that assumption. We then introduce $\mathbf{learning\ efficiency}$ (LE) to quantify the amount a learner is able to leverage data for a given problem, regardless of whether it is an in- or out-of-distribution problem. We then define and prove the relationship between generalized notions of learnability, and show how this framework is sufficiently general to characterize transfer, multitask, meta, continual, and lifelong learning. We hope this unification helps bridge the gap between empirical practice and theoretical guidance in real world problems. Finally, because biological learning continues to outperform machine learning algorithms on certain OOD challenges, we discuss the limitations of this framework vis-\'a-vis its ability to formalize biological learning, suggesting multiple avenues for future research.

Online machine learning (OML) is a type of machine learning (ML) in which data is acquired sequentially and utilised to update the best predictor for future data at each step, in contrast to batch learning techniques, which generate the best predictor by learning on the full training data set at once. In comparison to "conventional" machine learning solutions, online machine learning takes a fundamentally different approach, one that recognises that learning environments can (and frequently do) change from second to second. It is employed in cases when the algorithm must adapt dynamically to new patterns in the data or when the data is generated as a function of time. OML is a widely used technique in areas of machine learning when training over the complete dataset is computationally impractical, necessitating the employment of out-of-core algorithms. OML, in its simplest form, is a machine learning technique that ingests a sample of real-time data, one observation at a time.

Online classrooms, learning management systems, and other groundbreaking technology advancements are increasingly becoming an integral component of our educational system. As a result, what was once thought to represent the future of education is now becoming the standard. Students are now using ed-tech platforms and tools to study at their speed, and the education system is no longer synonymous with the conventional classroom setup. By 2021, the ed-tech sector is anticipated to have 9.6 million users and a market share of US$1.96 billion, according to research by KPMG and Google. The education sector will continue to evolve as a result of the industry's influence.

As the same itself suggests, almost every species including humans learn by imitating and also improvise. Similarly we can make machines mimic us and learn from a human expert. Autonomous driving is a good example: We can make an agent learn from millions of driver demonstrations and mimic an expert driver. This Learning from demonstrations also known as Imitation Learning (IL) is an emerging field in reinforcement learning and AI in general. The application of IL in robotics is ubiquitous, a robot can learn a policy from analysing demonstrations of the policy performed by a human supervisor.

In a recently published paper, a pair of academics propose that the application of artificial intelligence can offer a potent weapon against antitrust behavior in the Big Tech sector. This is the very industry that has advanced this technology, noted one of those academics, Giovana Massarotto, a Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition academic fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and an adjunct professor at the University of Iowa. She underscored this fact in an article for Bloomberg Law, in which she maintains that "the present economic democracy propaganda against Big Tech is not the solution to increase competition in fast-moving technology markets." In fact, she says, the industry's ingenuity is needed to achieve our nation's pro-competition goals. Massarotto and University of Liege (Belgium) Associate Professor Ashwin Ittoo write about their "antitrust machine learning application" (AML) which shows the potential for AI to "assist antitrust agencies in detecting anticompetitive practices faster."

In recent years, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have achieved great success in learning from graph-structured data. With the growing tendency of graph nodes and edges, GCN training by single processor cannot meet the demand for time and memory, which led to a boom into distributed GCN training frameworks research. However, existing distributed GCN training frameworks require enormous communication costs between processors since multitudes of dependent nodes and edges information need to be collected and transmitted for GCN training from other processors. To address this issue, we propose a Graph Augmentation based Distributed GCN framework(GAD). In particular, GAD has two main components, GAD-Partition and GAD-Optimizer. We first propose a graph augmentation-based partition (GAD-Partition) that can divide original graph into augmented subgraphs to reduce communication by selecting and storing as few significant nodes of other processors as possible while guaranteeing the accuracy of the training. In addition, we further design a subgraph variance-based importance calculation formula and propose a novel weighted global consensus method, collectively referred to as GAD-Optimizer. This optimizer adaptively reduces the importance of subgraphs with large variances for the purpose of reducing the effect of extra variance introduced by GAD-Partition on distributed GCN training. Extensive experiments on four large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework significantly reduces the communication overhead (50%), improves the convergence speed (2X) of distributed GCN training, and slight gain in accuracy (0.45%) based on minimal redundancy compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

A more realistic object detection paradigm, Open-World Object Detection, has arisen increasing research interests in the community recently. A qualified openworld object detector can not only identify objects of known categories, but also discover unknown objects, and incrementally learn to categorize them when their annotations progressively arrive. Previous works rely on independent modules to recognize unknown categories and perform incremental learning, respectively. In this paper, we provide a unified perspective: Semantic Topology. During the life-long learning of an open-world object detector, all object instances from the same category are assigned to their corresponding pre-defined node in the semantic topology, including the'unknown' category. This constraint builds up discriminative feature representations and consistent relationships among objects, thus enabling the detector to distinguish unknown objects out of the known categories, as well as making learned features of known objects undistorted when learning new categories incrementally. Extensive experiments demonstrate that semantic topology, either randomly-generated or derived from a well-trained language model, could outperform the current state-of-the-art open-world object detectors by a large margin, e.g., the absolute open-set error is reduced from 7832 to 2546, exhibiting the inherent superiority of semantic topology on open-world object detection. Object detection, which aims at localizing and classifying objects in a given scene (Felzenszwalb et al., 2010; Everingham et al., 2010; Lin et al., 2014), is one of the most iconic abilities of biological intelligence. It was introduced to the artificial intelligence field to endow an intelligence agent with the ability of scene understanding.
