Machine Learning for Kids will introduce you to machine learning, painlessly. With this book and its free, Scratch-based companion website, you'll see how easy it is to add machine learning to your own projects. You don't even need to know how to code!

Step by easy step, you'll discover how machine learning systems can be taught to recognize text, images, numbers, and sounds, and how to train your models to improve them.

You'll turn your models into 13 fun computer games and apps, including-

.

A Rock, Paper, Scissors game that recognizes your hand shapes

.

A computer character that reacts to insults and compliments

.

An interactive virtual assistant (like Siri or Alexa)

Reviews for Machine Learning For Kids: A Playful Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning for Kids is another leading-edge resource for data scientists, this time for very young data scientists. --Daniel Gutierrez, insideBIGDATA What delights me about this book is that it's wonderfully pragmatic, for it guides you in building AI systems that are very much relevant to contemporary computer science.
