Week 1 - Fast.ai lesson 2

Saturday July 30 2022 - PyOhio

Today was my first Python conference. I really enjoyed the presentation about Flappy Bird AI. The author used a genetic algorithm to make the bird fly by himself. This algorithm looks very interesting, I plan to learn more about it. Here the repository: https://github.com/anaypant/anaypant.github.io

Today I started a new DL project: a spider classifier. I’m using lesson 2 from Fast.ai and my previous notebook “Is it a hedgehog?”. The goal is to put this model to production using Gradio. You will be able to download a picture of spider and it will give the probability that it’s a black widow. I plan to include 4 other types of spiders ressembling the black widow spider. I will select the photos using the scientific name of these spiders, to avoid too many mislabeled pictures.

I also started 2 new courses: Introduction to data science in Python (Coursera) and Supervised machine learning : regression and classification (Coursera as well). Lots of work but it’s worth it!
