AI and Machine Learning

Articles

Machine learning has been used to automatically translate long-lost languages

 

AI: A Junior Bayesian Project

Participants must have basic knowledge of data structures and basic algorithms.
Age groups: grade 9-12.

Goal

Write an article to debate a topic of your choosing.

Follow this link for guidance on how to structure a philosophy paper: https://philosophy.fas.harvard.edu/files/phildept/files/brief_guide_to_writing_philosophy_paper.pdf.

Example article

Linguistics and Machine Learning

We'll debate each article in class how it could have been better, what structure was it following and the parts done right. We'll start with the article above as an example to start us off.
