AI for Beginners Labs

Small deterministic simulations for testing the ideas in the course. Change one variable, observe what changes, and keep the claim no larger than the evidence.

  1. Bonus labNeural Network PlaygroundChange inputs and weights, then watch activations move through a tiny neural network without treating the visualization as magic.
  2. Week 13Classification PlaygroundDrag a decision threshold, corrupt labels, and watch a simple classifier trade one mistake for another.
  3. Week 14Model Evaluation LabMove a probability threshold and watch the confusion matrix, precision, recall, and accuracy change together.
  4. Week 15Clustering PlaygroundChange k, feature scaling, and outliers to see why a cluster is a result of representation and assumptions—not a discovered species.
  5. Week 16AI System Pipeline SimulatorBreak input, model, latency, or human-control boundaries and trace how one failure propagates through an AI system.
  6. Week 17Edge vs Cloud Deployment SimulatorChange latency, bandwidth, model size, privacy sensitivity, and connectivity to defend where inference should happen.
  7. Week 18AI System Defense LabConfigure a bounded AI system, inject failures, and build an evidence-based response instead of overselling the model.
