Could you give an example of “shallow learning” alongside one of “deep learning,” and explain the difference? “Deep learning” definitely sounds like something that’s better than “shallow learning,” but you haven’t made if very clear what it actually is.
Desrtopa, sure thing mate.
Deep learning example :
The 11 letters in the word PROBABILITY are written on 11 pieces of paper, and a piece of paper chosen at random from a bag. Which of the following statements are true?
a)The probability of selecting a “B” is less than the probability of selecting an “I”.
b)There is a greater chance of obtaining a consonant than of obtaining a vowel.
c)A vowel is less likely than a consonant.
d)If you repeated the experiment a very large number of times, approximately 63% of the results would be consonants.
Make your selection, note that you may select more than zero answers.
Shallow learning example.
The 11 letters of FOUNDATIONS are written on 11 pieces of paper, and a piece of paper chosen at random from a bag. What is the probability that an “O” is selected?
a) 3⁄12.
b) 1⁄11.
c) 2⁄11.
d) 2⁄12.
Select only 1 answer.
The Deep learning example uses the word “probability” that’s a way to prime the student to thinking in terms of probability, it is an interconnection, it enhances learning, the word “foundations” doesn’t do this. The question is “which of the following statements are true?” – that’s a question that is more open than “What is the probability that an “O” is selected?”—open questions evoke deep learning better than closed questions. The answer selections in the deep learning are worded, they require interpretation, they need an understanding of consonants and vowels – which again provides an interconnection with English, and interconnections are deep learning. Whilst the shallow learning has 4 numbers for options, they require no interpretation and they don’t interconnect with English as much as does the deep learning example. The Deep learning questions “make you selection, note that you may select more than zero answers” gives the reader a pause… how many can I select, what does more than zero mean, it requires some interpretation, could be 1, 2, 3, or 4! The “Select only 1 answer” doesn’t need interpretation, it’s closed – just 1. Now about the answers themselves. Shallow learning multiple choice questions typically have 2 options that are readily visible as incorrect and can be quickly discarded, 3⁄12 can be quickly discarded because there aren’t 3 O’s nor are there 12 letters. 1⁄11 can be quickly discarded because there are 2 “O”s. 2⁄11 is the correct answer and so the person doesn’t even need to assess answer d. Where as in the deep learning each answer needs to be assessed for their truth value, and no answer can be quickly discarded.
