Dear colleagues, PRIP (193-03) cordially invites you to the following talk by Dr. Radu Mariescu-Istodor / Joensuu University of Eastern Finland ======================================================================================================== Title: Learn how machine learning works to recognize objects in an image. ======================================================================================================== Location: Favoritenstr. 9-11, Besprechungsraum HA0509, 5.Stock, gelber Bereich Time: 14.11.2019, 13:00 c.t. ======================================================================================================== Abstract: In this study, we developed a machine learning method for object recognition that can be implemented using knowledge that high school students attain during their normal math and IT classes. We then tailored a two-hour interactive lesson in which the students were divided into groups to implement solutions to six distinct problems required by the method. The solutions were later put together by the teacher into a working web application (HTML + JavaScript). Furthermore, we utilized the developed machine learning tool in a workshop with primary school children. Observations from this workshop suggest wider applicability of the tool, as well as further research questions on machine learning in K-12 settings. ========================================================================================================
