How to tune hyperparameters with Python and scikit-learn
In last week’s post, I introduced the k-NN machine learning algorithm which we then applied to the task of image classification. Using the k-NN algorithm, we obtained 57.58% classification accuracy on the Kaggle Dogs vs. Cats dataset challenge: The question is: “Can we do better?” Of course we can! Obtaining higher accuracy for nearly any machine learning algorithm […]
k-NN classifier for image classification
Now that we’ve had a taste of Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks in last week’s blog post on LeNet, we’re going to take a step back and start to study machine learning in the context of image classification in more depth. To start, we’ll reviewing the k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) classifier, arguably the most simple, easy […]
