What is that fancy graph

For my 11th grade science fair project, I studied artificial intelligence and its mathematical roots by building a convolutional neural network (a special deep neural network adapted for images) capable of recognizing handwritten digits.

This project consists of a pipline:

  1. The user inputs the raw drawing
  2. The system crops this drawing, turns it into a square, and resizes it
  3. This modified image is passed through the CNN (which was trained earlier)
  4. A prediction is made

Awards

This project won 1st place out of the entire high school for the science fair.

Some more beautiful graphs

A couple of nice graphs of this mode. From left to right: learning rate, training accuracy, a graph representing the model, and a screenshot of the entry window.

But wait, there’s more!

I have open sourced the code, and you can check it out on Github here . It is pretty neat if I may say so myself, so feel free to just clone and run it if this piques your interest.
