Week 1-2: Project Definition and Data Collection
Define the scope of the image classification task.
Identify the categories/classes for classification.
Collect and preprocess the dataset, ensuring proper labeling and quality.
Week 3-4: Data Preprocessing and Model Selection
Perform data augmentation and transformation to increase dataset diversity.
Select a suitable pre-trained deep learning model (e.g., ResNet, Inception) for transfer learning.
Week 5-6: Model Fine-Tuning and Training
Load the pre-trained model and adjust its architecture for the new task.
Train the model on the preprocessed dataset, monitoring loss and accuracy.
Week 7-8: Model Evaluation and Optimization
Evaluate the model using validation data and metrics like accuracy and F1-score.
Fine-tune hyperparameters and experiment with different optimization techniques.
Week 9-10: Deployment and Documentation
Deploy the trained model to a web service or application.
Document the entire process, from data collection to deployment, for future reference.
