Isn't FSRS (the new algorithm used in Anki since a few years ago) already based on machine learning? | ||

Too old school and too effective. FSRS just works, even without a GPU so it's not the cool kind of AI / machine learning these days. No joke though: the FSRS model is marvelous, and Anki remains one of the best free + open source implementations around. I've been learning German recently and Anki (in FSRS mode) is one of the most important learning tools I have. No joke. ------ Every card remembers every rating you give it, as well as the time / date. This allows for Anki to solve for a 'forgetting curve', and predict when different cards have a chance to be forgotten. There is furthermore the machine learning / stochastic descent algorithm to better fit the assumed forgetting curves to your historical performance. This is the FSRS Optimize parameters button in the settings panel. | ||

Yes. Stochastic gradient descent, to be precise. https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/The... | ||
