Capstone Revisited Pt1

I Redid My 2020 College Capstone With AI — Here’s What Changed In 2020, I spent my senior year of college building a machine learning model for my capstone project. Inspired by new (at the time) advances in self-driving cars, the goal was to train a convolutional neural network to detect obstacles in road images. I wanted to prove that biased training data made the CNN worse. It took months of grinding through TensorFlow documentation, manually hunting for images, and writing code I didn’t fully understand yet. ...
