Machine Learning for Middle Schoolers (2017)
- mr_golyadkin 8y agoI found this via https://andrewgelman.com/2018/11/30/stephen-wolfram-explains-neural-nets/ https://andrewgelman.com/2018/11/30/stephen-wolfram-explains... which is a nice little intro.
- Puer 8y agoI'd imagine it's a lot easier and more effective to teach middle schools basic probability first. All you need is a coin or a deck of cards to introduce them to real world examples.
- nerdponx 8y agoNot to mention that machine learning without at least some probabilistic intuition is asking for trouble in many applications.
- meesterdude 8y agofor image classification? I don't think so.
- nerdponx 8y agoMaybe for copying and pasting MNIST-in-Keras. But to even understand and make good use of cross-validation, you absolutely need to understand expected values, sample size, and the bias/variance tradeoff. That's all statistical intuition that depends more or less directly on a basic understanding of and healthy respect for probability.
