AI and ML for kids – part 3 | We're training our own model to tell the difference between a Stormtrooper and a Dalek

In this short series I thought I’d give you, as a primary school teacher, some lesson ideas for practical AI teaching – and in this case the subfield ML, Machine Learning or maskininlärning in Swedish. Most children and adults already use services built on ML today, such as Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant, or various filters in social media. We do this within the subjects technology and mathematics.

In this part 3, we train our own model where we let the computer learn to distinguish between images of a Dalek (Doctor Who) and a Stormtrooper (Star Wars). Naturally you can choose anything, such as the difference between one and two fingers, thumbs up and thumbs down, dolls, etc.
