Unit 3: Matlab Deep Learning Toolbox

 Matlab provides an integrated tool to streamline the process of building deep learning neural network. 

A Matlab example implementing CNN to recognize hand-written digits can be found at the link. 

A Matlab script file of the same example can be found at the link (digits.m).

A detailed commented script file of the same example can be found at the link (dl.m).

Unit 3 Project: 

Birds Recognition

The goal of this project is to recognize 20 common species of birds using convolutional neural network (CNN). There are 20 species of birds in the dataset. Their names, labels and corresponding file counts can be found in the file (link).

   

Please use the following link to locate dataset files and guidelines for your project:

• Input Dataset: birds dataset
• Training Dataset: randomly pick 80% from the input dataset.
• Validation Dataset: remaining 20% from the input dataset.
• Goal: Accuracy reach 90%.
