Deep Learning for Clothing Classification
To practice convolutional neural network (CNN) design, I wanted to work on a classification problem that was more challenging than toy datasets but still lightweight enough to train quickly on my local machine. The following details the design of a 3-block CNN architecture and the lessons I learned from training it on clothing image data. Dataset Characteristics Clothing classification with…
Java Elevator Simulator
This is an interactive elevator simulator written in Java with Swing graphics. Users can click the ▲ (up) and ▼ (down) buttons on each floor to spawn riders and call the elevator.
