The document proposes an online course that teaches machine learning skills by drawing parallels to characteristics of the Maya language. Specifically, it would highlight split-ergativity, where subjects are marked differently based on their involvement in an action. This grammatical structure similarly exists in other languages like Pashto. The course would explain how split-ergativity in Maya relates to the separation of training and testing data in machine learning cross-validation. This would help promote appreciation for Native American languages while imparting data analysis job skills.
