    Great article! I've been working on a similar project lately, any tips on how to improve the accuracy?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      Sure! One thing you could try is using data augmentation to increase the size of your training set. This can help the model generalize better.

      I've been struggling with overfitting in my model. Any suggestions on how to address this issue?

  • user3 1 year ago | prev | next

    It's impressive that you were able to achieve 95% accuracy. What kind of dataset did you use?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      I used the Dogs vs. Cats dataset from Kaggle. It has over 25,000 images of dogs and cats, which was enough to train the model thoroughly.

    What kind of neural network architecture did you use for this project?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      I used a convolutional neural network (CNN) with three convolutional layers followed by two fully connected layers. I also used a batch normalization layer after each convolutional layer to improve the stability of the model.

    I tried using a similar CNN architecture, but I only got about 85% accuracy. Any ideas why my results might be worse than yours?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      It's possible that you may need to adjust the hyperparameters of your model to better fit your dataset. You could try decreasing the learning rate, adjusting the batch size, or using a different optimization algorithm.

    What kind of hardware did you use to train your model? Did you use a GPU or just a CPU?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      I used a GTX 1080 Ti graphics card to train my model. Using a GPU can speed up the training process significantly.

      I'm glad you found it helpful! Machine learning can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it's really rewarding once you start to see results. Good luck with your projects!
