Solving real world data science problems with Python! (computer vision edition)

In this video we work on a real world computer vision problem using Python. The problem task is to create a model that can distinguish a flower known as “La Eterna” from other types of flowers.

To do this we create convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using the Tensorflow/Keras libraries. We examine how to create a simple model and then improve it using techniques such as data augmentation & preprocessing. We play around with different types of network architectures and see how changes improve or decrease overall task performance.
