I don’t remember how many times people mistakenly identify my White German Sheperd as a husky and my Australian Sheperd as a border collie. It is not an easy task to correctly name dog breeds, even for some experienced breeders. Can we develop an AI to name the dog breeds just based on a picture? It seems quite possible. Convolutional Neural Networks have been extensively studied and used in object identification and computer vision fields¹. This project explores the potential of Convolution Neural Networks in detecting dog breeds, and even more, we will compare the vanilla CNN’s performance to the…
Introduction
The popularity and employment prospects of certain Ph.D. fields have shifted unevenly in recent decades. The number of Ph.D. graduates has risen since 1990, but fewer postdoctoral research positions were available at their graduation. According to the National Science Foundation, more than 55,000 people received doctorates in 2019, about 70% stayed in academia. How about those who could not get a postdoc or are not willing to continue their career as researchers? Looking for an industrial job is an alternative. Jobs requiring skills that are in line with what they have learned in graduate school are the best option…
