Machine Learning is Fun! Part 2 – Adam Geitgey – Medium

Update: This article is part of a series. Check out the full series: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 and Part 8! In Part 1, we said that Machine Learning is using generic algorithms to tell you something interesting about your data without writing any code specific to the problem you are solving. This time, we are going to see one of these generic algorithms do something really cool -- create video game levels that look like they were made by humans. We'll build a neural network, feed it existing Super Mario levels and watch new ones pop out! Just like Part 1, this guide is for anyone who is curious about machine learning but has no idea where to start.
