Ask HN: Suggest a deep-learning personal project?

by bekantan on 4/17/20, 9:13 PM with 1 comments

After completion of deeplearning.ai courses I am looking for personal project to further improve my understanding of AI and have some fun.

I find applications of convolutional networks and sequence models especially interesting.

One of the ideas I have is to build a command-line tool to classify my photos (mark photos with people, nature, cities, similar photos, photos with bad light / focus, ...).

Could you suggest progression through such project with high-level tasks ordered by difficulty?

Other project suggestions are also welcome!

    Most straightforward progression:

    1. establish desired categories

    2. group existing photos into these categories

    3. finetune a pretrained model on these categories

    You can also partially automate step 2 using a pretrained model, but in this case some of your desired classes should be similar to (some of) the classes that model was trained on.
