I followed a tutorial on Convolutional Neural Networks that left many questions unanswered. Soon I realized that the actual process of architecting a Neural Network and setting the parameters seemed to be much more experimental than I thought. It took a while to find explanations that a rookie like me could understand. Most of the… Continue reading Classifying fruits with a Convolutional Neural Network in Keras
