This project explores the application of two powerful convolutional neural network architectures, ResNet and EfficientNet, for the task of food classification. The goal is to compare their performance in accurately categorizing various types of food images, enabling better understanding and usage of these models in practical AI applications related to culinary arts and health.

Model Implementation: Implement ResNet and EfficientNet models using TensorFlow and Keras to classify food images.

Performance Comparison: Evaluate and compare the accuracy, speed, and computational efficiency of each model on a standardized food image dataset.

Optimization: Fine-tune hyperparameters and apply techniques like data augmentation to enhance model performance.

Analysis: Provide insights into the models’ classification layers and decision-making processes using visualization tools.
