## Motivation

- programming
- take a peek at AI

> programming - giving a set of instructions to a computer to execute
> AI - Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning)


## Keys to archive GOAL

- basic knowledge about **programming**
- basic knowledge about **machine learning**
- how does computer deals with **images**


## Preparation

- programming language - python
    - [why python?](https://github.blog/2023-03-02-why-python-keeps-growing-explained/#using-python-for-and-artificial-intelligence)
- laptop
- webcam


## General Steps

1. gather **data** (images)
2. train the **model** to recognize
3. validate model's **performance**


## Dive Into All Tasks


### gather data

- required a lots of images
    - to learn to recognize these images, computer needs to see as much as possible
    - take photos on our own
    - use datasets that someone collected (open source)
- goods and bads
    - precise
    - quantity
    - imbalanced
- only sample few kinds of pokemon in our task
    - 15


### train the model

machine **learning** is basically math and probability, but it's hard to implement all these equations and theories on our own.

machine learning **framework** comes in very handly. choose to use [keras](https://keras.io/).

with general ideas about our task, we can build powerful AI too.

> machine learning - computer learn to remember something without being explicitly programmed to do so.


### model performance

> model validation - to ensure that our ML/AI model is performing as it should.

- accuracy
	- the higher the better
	- downside of accuracy?
- loss
	- the lower the better

*to-do: display model performance (accuracy, loss)*
