Abstract

We aim to show that machine learning methods can provide meaningful feedback to help the student articulate concepts from examples, in particular from images. Therefore we present here a framework to support the learning through human visual classifications and machine learning methods.

This work is funded from the SILVER project, EPSRC grant DT/E010350/1.
