Jul 3, 2020My Introduction to Transfer LearningAbstract: I created a Keras training model, using transfer learning, that is about 87% accurate on the cifar10 data set. My goal was 88% accuracy at least. I knew that in order to get reasonable accuracy it is best to preprocess the data to as closely match the original data…4 min read4 min read
May 30, 2020Regularization for machine learning in terms a child could understand.I am going to be explaining regularization is in regards to supervised learning, in very very simple terms, without much math. Or in other words a few ways to make computers smarter. I will be using simple terms because I was asked to do so. So with that out of…3 min read3 min read
