Pattern Playground

Feed in data and let the AI surface patterns the way a model would.

The AI idea behind it

Classification means deciding which group a new example belongs to. With two features, every example is a point on a grid, and a classifier draws a boundary: points on one side are Class A, points on the other are Class B.

Some data can be split cleanly with a simple boundary and some cannot. Seeing where a simple boundary fails is the clearest way to understand why more powerful models exist.

How it works in the app

  1. Plot points on the grid for Class A and Class B.
  2. The AI draws a boundary between the two classes and reports how accurately it separates them.
  3. Undo, clear or save your pattern and try a new one.

Make the boundary fail

  1. Plot two clusters, Class A in one corner and Class B in the other. Check the accuracy.
  2. Clear the grid. Plot Class A in a small circle and surround it with a ring of Class B.
  3. Compare the accuracy and explain why the second pattern is harder.

What it shows: A simple boundary cannot separate a ring from its centre. Problems like this are why models with curved or layered boundaries, such as neural networks, were developed.
