14. Teachable Machine

Use Google's Teachable Machine to create a system that can recognize different categories of input. You will first go through an overview of how it works, then decide on what you want to train it to do, and then as a group create the system, documenting your progress in a google doc which you will turn in.

Steps

  1. Overview: Watch the 2 minute overview video

  2. As a group decide what you want to train the system to recognize at least three different categories for one application: Paper-Rock-Scissors? Type of animal? Numbers? Facial expressions? Mountains/Beach/City? Colors? Shapes? Different names? Different languages? Kinds of music?

  3. Create a Google doc with all your group members' names listed at the top. In the doc explain your goal, along with examples from the different categories you will use for training.

  4. Create the Teachable Machine system. Add screenshots to your google doc showing it working. In your google doc explain whether or not it worked. (Hint: If capturing images using your webcam, isolate the items in front of a neutral background.)
