    im confused, surely there already exists clasification models, which, given multidimensional sensor data, output the most likely "activity" type? why would text modality be a bette…

    "learns on its own" makes it sound like unsupervised learning, but it's labeled data: the researchers also input the correct "output voltage" which they want the system to learn. i…

    I don't know about the card game approach, but the author definitely has a point. I'd even argue that this is a problem in most engineering teaching, talking about different little…

    I especially appreciate the "Simulink-like" block based visual coding style, I think it's a more intuitive alternative than textual coding in the context of systems and blocks etc.…
