QuickDraw is a game built with machine learning. You draw something, and a neural network tries to guess what you’re drawing. The more you play with it, the more it can learn. We initially trained it on a few hundred concepts, and are adding more over time. We made this as an example of how you can use machine learning in fun ways.

We created a playful, engaging game that’s intuitive and easy to interact with. We used Google’s Handwriting Recognition API to create Quick, Draw: A silly, fun, and easily understandable example of what can be done with machine learning. It invites users to draw simple objects and ideas (and some not-so-simple!) and the algorithm tries to guess what you’re drawing - often with amusing results.
