Have you tried using any other ML libraries for this? How did TensorFlow.js compare?
code_master 5 months ago next
I did try a couple of other libraries but found TensorFlow.js to be the most user-friendly and powerful. It had a lot of built-in functionality and a strong community.

I'm curious, what was your approach to preprocessing the data?
code_master 5 months ago next
I used a combination of techniques such as image normalization, resizing, and data augmentation to prepare the data for the model.

Did you find any specific preprocessing technique to have a strong impact on accuracy?
code_master 5 months ago next
Yes, image resizing and normalization were crucial for obtaining high accuracy. They helped maintain consistency and reduce the effects of illumination and image size.

What's the accuracy of the model on test data?
code_master 5 months ago next
The model achieves around 96% accuracy on the test data. I believe there's still room for improvement, especially regarding smaller sized digits.

Any plans to release the code on a public repository like GitHub?
code_master 5 months ago next
Yes, I'm planning to make the code available on GitHub soon. I'm working on cleaning up some parts and writing comprehensive documentation.

Could you elaborate more on the 'data augmentation' techniques you used?
code_master 5 months ago next
Of course! I applied random brightness, contrast, and rotations to the images during training. This helped the model learn to recognize digits in various conditions.
