Machine Learning for Image Classification - Hands-On Tutorial with Tensorflow

A beginner-friendly hands-on image machine learning for classification tutorial with Tensorflow.

--

In recent years there has been huge progress in machine vision and image classification, stuff previously only dreamt of in science fiction.
We're lucky to have Barney Nicholls lead a beginner-friendly tutorial on image classification using Tensorflow.

He'll briefly set out a business challenge that inspired him to look at image classification, before leading us gently through a simple worked example of training a Google Tensorflow neural network to recognise images, and then testing it. He'll weave in wisdom and insights into machine learning as we progress through the example.

He'll also provide suggestions for how the simple solution could be improved, and point to modern alternative approaches to Tensorflow.

This hands-on tutorial is for beginners and you don't need to have any previous experience with Tensorflow, machine learning or image classification.

David T will also do a 5 minute flash talk at the beginning explaining some of his work on sentiment analysis inspired by our previous meetup.
