Image classification

Label whole images with deep learning.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Classification predicts one label per image (cat, dog).
  2. CNNs learn features from pixels.
  3. Datasets: MNIST, CIFAR-10, ImageNet.
  4. Transfer learning with ResNet/EfficientNet works with small datasets.
  5. Metrics: accuracy, confusion matrix, top-5 accuracy.
💡 Real-life example: Image classification is a librarian putting each photo into the right labelled box.

Confusion matrixTable of predicted vs actual labels
Top-5 accuracyCorrect label among top 5 guesses
