This is a rough prototype of an idea I had that could help bridge the gap between human interfaces and machine learning. This sketch demonstrates a mechanism allowing a user to rapidly create population sets for genetic algorithms or refine training parameters for neural networks. Once the user clicks the center dot, the data set begins and as other circles are selected, the data continues to grow.
In the background, as the user makes selections, there is a JSON object that grows with the input and records all the data associated with each point.
In this example, the only data manipulation that is happening is an averaging of every color the user selected. But this could be applied to something more complex.
Imagine instead of solid colored circles to chose from, there were images generated by and algorithm with values that changed in relation to the previous selections.
