Lesson: Building a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Image Classification
This lesson will guide you through building a CNN from scratch using TensorFlow and Keras to classify images from the CIFAR-10 dataset.
---
Part 1: Setup and Data Loading
First, we import the necessary libraries and load the CIFAR-10 dataset. This dataset contains 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 classes.
#TensorFlow #Keras #DataLoading
---
Part 2: Data Exploration and Preprocessing
We need to prepare the data before feeding it to the network. This involves:
• Normalization: Scaling pixel values from the 0-255 range to the 0-1 range.
• One-Hot Encoding: Converting class vectors (integers) to a binary matrix.
Let's also visualize some images to understand our data.
#DataPreprocessing #Normalization #Visualization
---
Part 3: Building the CNN Model
Now, we'll construct our CNN model. A common architecture consists of a stack of
• Conv2D: Extracts features (like edges, corners) from the input image.
• MaxPooling2D: Reduces the spatial dimensions (downsampling), which helps in making the feature detection more robust.
• Flatten: Converts the 2D feature maps into a 1D vector.
• Dense: A standard fully-connected neural network layer.
#ModelBuilding #CNN #KerasLayers
---
Part 4: Compiling the Model
Before training, we need to configure the learning process. This is done via the
• Optimizer: An algorithm to update the model's weights (e.g., 'adam').
• Loss Function: A function to measure how inaccurate the model is during training (e.g., 'categorical_crossentropy' for multi-class classification).
• Metrics: Used to monitor the training and testing steps (e.g., 'accuracy').
