Welcome to Purr-ceptron!

Computers can learn by looking at examples, just like us! In this game, you will teach Purr-ceptron how to tell the difference between pictures of 🐱 cats and 🐟 fish.

How it works:

  • Machine learning means giving the computer lots of examples so it can “learn” patterns.
  • Each picture you label helps Purr-ceptron understand what cats and fish look like.
  • After training, Purr-ceptron will test itself on new pictures it has never seen before!

How to play:

  1. Use each picture or its text description to choose a label. This activity teaches model training; you do not need to identify images by sight.
  2. Click “🐱 Cat” if it’s a cat, or“🐟 Fish if it’s a fish.
  3. After you label all the pictures, click “Train Purr-ceptron”.
  4. Watch Purr-ceptron learn! When it’s done, see how well it can tell cats and fish apart!

Tip: If Purr-ceptron makes mistakes, try training again!
