Visualization tool for teaching and learning Artificial Neural Networks

摘要

In this article, we describe a visualization tool for teaching and learning the basics of artificial neural networks with a user interface and a mobile robot. The participants are given a brief introduction to artificial neural networks and are introduced to the visualization tool. Participants had different educational backgrounds including Computer Science, Information Technology, Language and Translation, Law and Psychology. Most of the participants were excited to be a part of the study and they were able to relate the artificial neural networks to real-life applications. The study suggests that visualization tools can increase interest in teaching and learning certain topics regardless of its complexity. It also suggests that similar tools can be utilized in teaching topics related to Artificial Intelligence.
