Major (technical setup) updates in Spring 2020:

I. Programming Language: Mix runwayML + processing and Keras + plaidML, while F19 was using ml5js + tensorflow.keras:

1. use runwayML (through the 14 weeks learning)
2. use Processing(Java) to communicate with runwayML (for productive purpose)
3. use Processing(Java) to code simple neural networks (week 03, 04)
   • 1. to practice Processing programming
   • 2. to open the black box of neural networks
4. use Keras, and plaidML backend to use AMD GPU support on macOSX (week 04 - week 08)
   • 1. to open the black box of neural networks
   • 2. to learn the workflow of setup a ML project
   • 3. to learn Keras (not required learning objective)

II. Training: experiment with RunwayML and Colab to train while F19 was using Intel DevCloud:

1. use [Jupyter notebook(https://jupyter.org/)] as IDE
2. consider Colab for training (TBA)
