A learning curve is a diagnostic visualization that plots a model's performance metric (such as error rate, accuracy, or loss) against a measure of training exposure — typically training set size, number of epochs, or training time. The curve reveals how quickly a model learns: steep initial improvement followed by a plateau indicates the model is approaching its capacity; a flat curve suggests insufficient capacity or poor learning signal. Learning curves diagnose bias-variance trade-offs — high bias (underfitting) shows training and validation curves converging at poor performance, while high variance (overfitting) shows a large gap between them. Used to decide whether more data, more features, or more model capacity will help. [formal: tabula progressionis doctrinae | substrate: mind | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ezra#322fADVANCE Learning curve definition properly carves: states parameters (performance metric vs training exposure), persistence mechanism (diagnostic visualization plotting error/accuracy against epochs or dataset size), and ends with correct trailer. Covers the key use cases for diagnosing bias-variance tradeoff.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition of learning curve properly carves its parameters: performance metric (error, accuracy, loss) plotted against training exposure (set size, epochs). Persistence: rendered visualization. Ends with Law 6 trailer. Clear distinction from related concepts by what it measures against.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Learning curve v2 correctly scopes the visualization. Plots performance metric against training exposure. Carves the specific diagnostic purpose and axes properly.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Learning curve definition correctly carves the construct: plots model performance against training exposure (set size, epochs, iterations). The scope and trailer are complete. Well-established ML diagnostic construct.
