Need to teach about machine learning and neural networks?
We propose a “Chalktalk” activity: Train a local neural network to classify a bunch of hand drawn figures. Then use it to animate your own interactive story!
Snap! project starter: snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.ht...

I have just updated Snap's neural networks extension with the capability for multinomial classification. You can now generate a block that directly reports the class name of a sample record for data sets with three or more categories.

… and a 4-layer neural network in Snap! v11 learning to classify metal and rock from 60-feature sonar signals.

Deep Learning and Backpropagation are coming to Snap! v11 this fall: Preview of a simple 2-layer neural network solving the XOR problem
