Neural Architecture Search

by Ankit Sachan • September 27, 2018

Neural network architecture design is one of the key hyperparameters in solving problems using deep learning and computer vision. Various neural networks are compared on two key factors i.e. accuracy and computational requirement. In general, as we aim to design more accurate neural networks, the computational requirement increases. In this post, we shall learn about […]

Zero to Hero: Guide to Object Detection using Deep Learning: Faster R-CNN,YOLO,SSD

by Ankit Sachan • December 28, 2017

In this post, I shall explain object detection and various algorithms like Faster R-CNN, YOLO, SSD. We shall start from beginners’ level and go till the state-of-the-art in object detection, understanding the intuition, approach and salient features of each method. What is Image Classification?: Image classification takes an image and predicts the object in an […]

ResNet, AlexNet, VGGNet, Inception: Understanding various architectures of Convolutional Networks

by koustubh • August 9, 2017

Convolutional neural networks are fantastic for visual recognition tasks. Good ConvNets are beasts with millions of parameters and many hidden layers. In fact, a bad rule of thumb is: ‘higher the number of hidden layers, better the network’. AlexNet, VGG, Inception, ResNet are some of the popular networks. Why do these networks work so well? How are […]

Tensorflow Tutorial 2: image classifier using convolutional neural network

by Ankit Sachan • February 26, 2017

In this Tensorflow tutorial, we shall build a convolutional neural network based image classifier using Tensorflow. If you are just getting started with Tensorflow, then it would be a good idea to read the basic Tensorflow tutorial here. To demonstrate how to build a convolutional neural network based image classifier, we shall build a 6 […]
