ml5.js is an open-source library which aims to make machine learning approachable for a broad audience of artists, creative coders, and students: a friendly tool for creating intelligent systems in the browser. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use ml5.js to train and harness LSTMs — a type of deep neural network — in order to generate novel melodies, poetry, and other creative symbol sequences.

This workshop is also part of Processing Community Day @ Pittsburgh, a national day with local activities. The instructors provide a space for people to learn how to program and make creative work with code, reaching out to diverse communities, especially those who might not otherwise have access to these tools and resources.

Level: Intermediate (participants should have some modest prior programming experience).

Equipment: Bring your own laptop, please! Instructions to download specific software provided upon completion of registration.
