tic tac toe

Place value with whole numbers is always more engaging with second graders when you add in games like Tic-Tac-Toe!

Believe it or not, math can be fun! With the help of a little bit of creativity, even 2nd-grade students can enjoy learning the place value of the digits and turning their math lesson into an interactive game of tic-tac-toe. Make kids smile and think differently about math class and the place value system with an engaging activity that will make them beg for more. Tune in to hear all the details to start having Tic Tac Toe playing time during your math lessons while learning about whole numbers with two-digit numbers and larger numbers and the position of a digit.

What have we learned about machine learning and the human decisions that shape it? And is machine learning perhaps changing our minds about how the world outside of machine learning — also known as the world — works?

Yannick and David’s systems play against each other in 500 games. Who’s going to win? And what can we learn about how the ML may be working by thinking about the results?

See the agents play each other in Tic-Tac-Two!

David’s variant of tic-tac-toe that we’re calling tic-tac-two is only slightly different but turns out to be far more complex. This requires rethinking what the ML system will need in order to learn how to play, and  how to represent that data.

Switching gears, we focus on how Yannick’s been training his model using reinforcement learning.  He explains the differences from David’s supervised learning approach. We find out how his system performs against a player that makes random tic-tac-toe moves.

David did it! He trained a machine learning model to play tic-tac-toe! (Well, with lots of help from Yannick.) How did the whole training experience go? How do you tell how training went? How did his model do against a player that makes random tic-tac-toe moves?

Once we have the data we need—thousands of sample games--how do we turn it into something the ML can train itself on? That means understanding how training works, and what a model is.

How should David represent the data needed to train his machine learning system? What does a tic-tac-toe board “look” like to ML? Should he train it on games or on individual boards? How does this decision affect how and how well the machine will learn to play? Plus, an intro to reinforcement learning, the approach Yannick will be taking.

Welcome to the podcast! We’re Yannick and David, a software engineer and a non-technical writer. Over the next 9 episodes we’re going to use two different approaches to build machine learning systems that play two versions of tic-tac-toe. Building a machine learning app requires humans making a lot of decisions. We start by agreeing that David will use a “supervised learning” approach while Yannick will go with “reinforcement learning.”

Introducing the podcast where a writer and a software engineer explore the human choices that shape machine learning systems by building competing tic-tac-toe agents. Brought to you by Google's People + AI Research team.

Today, my first guest is Artist, Lynn Herring, who was born in Chicago but moved to New York in her 20’s to pursue a career as an advertising art director and to develop her studio practice. While in NY, she studied at the School of Visual Arts graduating with honors in 2008 with a BFA in Sculpture. Lynn eventually found her way upstate and recently completed her MFA studies in sculpture and printmaking at SUNY New Paltz where she graduated with honors while developing a new body of work designed to bring people together with art. This body of work is a reengineered Tic Tac Toe game designed to “Make America Relate Again.” Created with organic crooked-shaped, brightly-colored wood Xs and Os and using a more complicated wonky-shaped game board, Herring’s game, XOX! Share the Love®, is an art object used to help many different kinds of people to connect for a playful and sane moment in this time of cultural and political toxicity. She's participating in this weekend's O+ Festival where you can play XOX! Share the Love Friday from 6-8pm, Saturday from 12-6pm and Sunday from 12-4pm at Gallery Fifty5, 55 Greenkill Avenue in Kingston, NY.

Lynn and I get to talk about how one goes about making a board game, how she balanced work and school and why she made the leap to follow her passion, downsize and keep making art. Much of her work is very female centric so she shares the inspiration for her work and how it was important for her to follow her art creation versus procreation. She even put a raw egg in her mouth to make her point for one past performance. She's focused on living life authentically and for that I am grateful for her example!

Today's second guest is Jenny Mulak who after much soul searching left her big corporate gig and moved to the Catskills to create Juniper Grove, a retreat space on her sacred land designed for healers, artists, lovers, musicians, writers, yogis, seekers and creatives of all kinds. Speaking of she also has her very own organic and vegan body product line "Jenifer Juniper" that she’s bringing to next weekend’s Hudson Valley Vegfest. We get to chat about how she finally made the big leap, the ups and down, really mostly ups, of building her dream retreat space, how and why she makes her Jenifer Juniper products and how and why she became a Vegan. Her online store will be coming soon so stay tuned, but meanwhile locals can check her out and also support past guest Rebecca Moore, founder of Vegfest next weekend, October 19th and 20th at BSP in Kingston, NY.

Come check me out at O+ this weekend performing with past guest, Aki Goto Saturday evening at 6pm at Litebrite Neon and then Sunday, co-facilitating a Healing Ring of Tantra with past guest Nidhi Adhiya-Huba. All this makes you want to move to the Hudson Valley, huh? Come on join us!

Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!
