This paper articulates the key questions used to translate human-centered ML pipeline design into child-centered practice, and presents two end-to-end case studies for children’s products. It discusses the child-centered goals across pipeline stages, including problem identification, data collection, exploratory analysis, model development, ethics, and interface development, while emphasizing affordability and ethical considerations for K-12 and higher education contexts.","arXiv :2304 .09532v1 [ cs .HC] 19 Apr 2023  \nTowards Building Child-Centered Machine Learning Pipelines: Use Cases from K-12 and Higher-Education  \nALPAY SABUNCUOĞLU, UNVEST R&D Center, Turkey  \nCEYLAN BEŞEVLI, University College London (UCL), United Kingdom  \nT. METIN SEZGIN, Koc University, Turkey  \nResearchers and policy-makers have started creating frameworks and guidelines for building machine-learning* (ML) pipelines with a human-centered lens [1, 5]. Machine Learning pipelines stand for all the necessary steps to develop ML systems (e.g., developing a predictive keyboard) [7] . On the other hand, a child-centered focus in developing ML systems has been recently gaining interest as children are becoming users of these products [14] . These efforts dominantly focus on children’s interaction with ML-based systems. However, from our experience, ML pipelines are yet to be adapted using a child-centered lens. In this paper, we list the questions we ask ourselves in adapting human-centered ML pipelines to child-centered ones. We also summarize two case studies of building end-to-end ML pipelines for children’s products.  \n*Throughout the paper, we used the term ML rather than AI. Commercial examples use the term AI loosely to define all the systems that learn from data. However, the term AI covers a broad range of intelligence levels, from narrow intelligence to general intelligence, that tries to achieve systems that think and act humanly and rationally [8]. Current intelligent systems (including our work) are examples of narrow intelligence that use ML techniques to learn from data. Thus, we used the term ML throughout the paper.  \nCCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Interactive systems and tools; Interface design prototyping; • Social and professional topics → K-12 education.  \nAdditional Key Words and Phrases: child-centered machine learning  \nACM Reference Format:  \nAlpay Sabuncuoğlu, Ceylan Beşevli, and T.

Following these stages with a human-centered focus can help practitioners build natural, intuitive-to-use, highperformance intelligent systems that abide by ethical considerations. In our work, we both used pre-trained, ready-todeploy ML models and developed new models starting from scratch to increase the affordability and potential outreach of our systems. Table 1 lists the steps and the corresponding questions we ask in the pipeline steps to make these projects more child-centered.  \nPermission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
