Learnability

Learnability

oftware testing

In software testing learnability, according to ISO 9126, is the capability of a software product to enable the user to learn how to use it. Learnability may be considered as an aspect of usability, and is of major concern in the design of complex software applications.

Learnability is defined in the "Standard glossary of terms used in software testing" published by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board.

Computational learning theory

In computational learning theory, learnability is the mathematical analysis of machine learning.

Frameworks include:
* Language identification in the limit proposed in 1967 by E. Mark Gold. [E.M. Gold. " [http://www.isrl.uiuc.edu/~amag/langev/paper/gold67limit.html Language identification in the limit] " Information and Control, 10(5), 1967.] Subsequently known as Algorithmic learning theory.
* Probably approximately correct learning (PAC learning) proposed in 1984 by Leslie ValiantL. Valiant. " [http://web.mit.edu/6.435/www/Valiant84.pdf A theory of the learnable.] " Communications of the ACM, 27, 1984.]
