A memory-based learning system is an extended memory management system that decomposes the input space either statically or dynamically into subregions for the purpose of storing and retrieving functional information. Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a simple function approximation method whose roots go back at least to 1910. Training a memory based learner is an almost trivial operation: just store each data point in memory (or a database). Making a prediction about the output that will result from some input attributes based on the data is done by looking for similar points in memory, fitting a local model to those points, and then making a prediction based on the model. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of MBL 2. Memory Types 3. MBL Synonyms 4. MBL Components 5. MBL Systems 6. MBL Process 7. MBL Advantages 8. MBL Resources
