Phase 9 · Deep Learning Fundamentals

Projects

Train an Image Classifier

Part of the Data Science Roadmap.

Summary

The practice project for this phase — train a CNN (from scratch or via transfer learning) to classify images into categories, and document your architecture choices and results.

How to Learn This

  • 1Choose a manageable image dataset (not enormous) to keep training time reasonable.
  • 2Start with transfer learning before attempting to train a CNN fully from scratch.
  • 3Document your model's accuracy, training curves, and a few example predictions (right and wrong).
