Neural Network Activity
- Each person has 10 images
- Vote if that image is a CAT or DOG
- If you are correct, you get more votes next time
- If you are incorrect, you get less votes next time
Camouflaging Tanks
- 100 photos of tanks behind trees
- 100 photos of just trees
- It worked for all pictures that were used to train the system
- It didn't work for another set of pictures
