Deep Learning

Alt-opt based 1-layer ReLU training with LS for +ve and -ve weights and sparse recovery to choose the weights' signs.

The MyFoodRepo project aims to produce accurate nutritional value estimates from images of food items. My work involved training the baseline Tortilla image classifier on a private dataset of food images, handling class imbalance in the data, setting up a coco-ui like segmentation interface on MTurk, and a webcrawler for obtaining further training data.
