Abstract

It is widely observed that  manufacturing quality metrics improve as experience is gained during production. The traditional empirical learning curves modeling such improvements have recently been explained by a predictive model deduced from first principles, namely certain principles imported into artificial intelligence from statistical mechanics. However, this new learning model  is limited to a finite lesson pool of paradigm shifts. This paper presents an extension to incremental learning using  sampling based on  the notion of dynamic random sets.
