  • Researchers are studying the trainability of neural networks to enhance their performance on specific tasks.

Examples

  • Engineers are assessing the trainability of various algorithms to improve machine learning outcomes.

  • The trainability of the new AI model allows it to adapt quickly to different datasets.

  • The trainability score is obviously the universalistic decision criterion, and group membership is the particularistic decision criterion.

    Academic text (1993)

  • For example, all services rely on a general "trainability" score from the ASVAB aptitude (called the AFQT), and all services try to minimize enlistments for those scoring below the 30th percentile on this test, which are the category FVs.

trainability singular
trainabilities plural

Morphology

trainability = trainable (transparent) = train + able + ity

Formed by adding '-ity' to 'trainable'; although 'train' has a technical meaning in ML, the morphological derivation is regular.

Etymology

Trainability comes from train ('to teach') plus -able ('can be') and -ity ('the quality of'), so it means the 'quality of being able to be taught'. For a machine or model, trainability is how easily it can learn from data.
