Video Abstract: Machine Teaching Using the Platform for Interactive Concept Learning (PICL)
Building machine learning (ML) models is an involved process requiring ML experts, engineers, and labelers. The demand of models for common-sense tasks far exceeds the available “teachers” that can build them. We approach this problem…
