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
