• Title: Unpacking Approaches to Learning and Teaching Machine Learning in K-12 Education: Transparency, Ethics, and Design Activities
• Authors: Luis Morales-Navarro, Yasmin B. Kafai,
• Abstract summary: We identify three approaches to how learning and teaching machine learning could be conceptualized. One of them, a data-driven approach, emphasizes providing young people with opportunities to create data sets, train, and test models. A second approach, learning algorithm-driven, prioritizes learning about how the learning algorithms or engines behind how ML models work.

• Abstract: In this conceptual paper, we review existing literature on artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) education to identify three approaches to how learning and teaching ML could be conceptualized. One of them, a data-driven approach, emphasizes providing young people with opportunities to create data sets, train, and test models. A second approach, learning algorithm-driven, prioritizes learning about how the learning algorithms or engines behind how ML models work. In addition, we identify efforts within a third approach that integrates the previous two. In our review, we focus on how the approaches: (1) glassbox and blackbox different aspects of ML, (2) build on learner interests and provide opportunities for designing applications, (3) integrate ethics and justice. In the discussion, we address the challenges and opportunities of current approaches and suggest future directions for the design of learning activities.

  Long-term goal of machine learning is to learn general visual representations from a small amount of data without supervision. Self-supervised learning and meta-learning are two promising techniques to achieve this goal, but they both only partially capture the advantages. We propose a novel Bootstrapped Meta Self-Supervised Learning framework that aims to simulate the human learning process.

We have evaluated the performance of the KADT method on four different machine learning tasks including knowledge tracing, sentiment analysis, movie recommendation, and image classification.

  We aim to provide a principled, unifying framework by revisiting and strengthening the connection between meta-learning and traditional supervised learning. By treating pairs of task-specific data sets and target models as (feature, label) samples, we can reduce many meta-learning algorithms to instances of supervised learning. This view not only unifies meta-learning into an intuitive and practical framework but also allows us to transfer insights from supervised learning directly to improve meta-learning.
