Machine Learning

[shiffman]

• What is classification? Supervised learning.
• Algorithm for classification: K-nearest neighbor
• Other libraries for classification: Weka-for-Processing (I'll make something based on Rebecca's work with Wekinator?)
  • show same example as k-nearest neighbor with library.
  • need a more interesting, creative application?
• Neural networks: what are they?
  • perceptron + supervised learning
  • MLN and XOR: back propagation?
  • Move to a library (deeplearning4j?)
  • digit or shape recognition?
  • other example scenarios?
• Reinforcement learning
  • steering agents (mouse + cheese?)
  • learn to play flappy bird?
• wekinator

Perceptron

Wekinator will be great !

Maybe some sort of handwritten glyph detection (https://www.kaggle.com/c/digit-recognizer)? With visualization of neural network with changing weights and glowing synapses and woosh sound while processing inputs? :)

EDIT: I meant recognition, not detection, of course

I haven't had the chance to play with SVM's so what would be my first choice. :)

I have however coded a multilayered perceptron neural network and visualised it in processing. It learns from the popular NMIST handwritten digits data set which is free to download. You can find a pdf I published on issuu with all the visualisation modes including learning rate, activation and sigmoid function.

Oh and the first page in the slide visualises the similarity of the data using a particle-spring system. They tend to form groups and align based on writing style. My approach was loosely based on this very nice post.

@CharlesFr thanks for this post, the suggestions and resources, it's very helpful and I hope to get to this topic soon!

Maybe a Rock Paper Scissor playing Neural Network with visualization of the separate neurons and weights. That would surly be appreciated by the majority of people watching your channel including myself.

Just wanna add this because it is something that I always wanted to learn :)

N.E.A.T.

Agreed with Coderoversially.
A NEAT neural Network would be great, maybe combining with the Rockets from The Nature of Code to evolve rockets with their own hidden layer.

Watching CR #53 and neural network libraries with p5js came up... I've been trying to play with this:

Maby a coding challange (#136) at the end of the series (self learning 2048 game)

[dannyd43]

Any idea when we can expect the stream on this one?
