Day 31: Presentation day

Today I presented everything I did over the summer. I felt that all of the presentations went great and I am very grateful to RIT as well as my mentors for this amazing experience. Here is my presentation.

Day 5: Beginning to create my own convolutional neural network

Image
At the start of today I watched 2 of Stanford's lectures one on feed-forward neural networks and the other on convolutional neural networks. In a feed-forward network there is no connection to previous nodes. This  is a great visualization of the relationship between nodes and how a previous layer provides input for a future layer. The other type of neural network is a recurrent neural network. What makes a recurrent network different is that outputs on a certain layer can act as inputs for the previous layer. I have not gone into depth on recurrent networks so my knowledge is limited. A convolutional network is not another type of network but rather a specific layer on a neural network which alters the data. One example of convolution is pooling. As demonstrated below pooling takes a filter full of values and then averages or sums them creating a new array. Pooling is useful because it reduces the size of your matrix while retaining a similar value. This allows for calculations to...

Day 20: Evaluating the accuracy of a VQA model

Today I created an evaluation function for my VQA model. Every loop over the data set I would print the average loss and the overall accuracy. Loss measure the incorrectness of a functions guess. Lower loss is good higher is bad. My function trended toward lower loss as it continued to train on the dataset. I was getting an accuracy of around 30% which is fairly good considering I was training the model on questions that had no associated images. In the future I plan to combine the image data with the question data.

Day 9: Continuing work on the pre-trained neural network

Image
Most of today was spent working on my program. Despite some initial struggles with importing data and feeding that data to the network I was able to extract a feature vector by the end of the day. A feature vector is a list of values given by the pre-trained neural network that can be used to classify images. Using this feature vector I was able to classify 10 images with 100% accuracy. Although with a larger data set that accuracy may have fallen I am still extremely impressed with the application of a pre-trained neural network. Source:  https://brilliant.org/wiki/feature-vector/
