Intro to Neural Networks

I just took the intro quiz (including Michie's matchboxes). Very fun! But as an experienced machine learning developer I think the explanation of how the matchboxes worked could be animated so that a person just starting could see what was intended.

Best regards, Manu

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hey Manu, thanks for your feedback. This is high on our list of add-ons for this course and will be added in the next revision. Ideally, we'd like to even make it interactive, so the matchbox trains as you play against it. If you have any more thoughts as you do this course (or any others), feel free to follow up here, or email me directly at josh@brilliant.org.

@Josh Silverman, I saw these links to an interactive version of MENACE below. Perhaps that author would be willing to share his code or work under contract for you. http://www.mscroggs.co.uk/blog/19 http://www.mscroggs.co.uk/menace

@Yajat Shamji I missed the feedback link on the right.
