Project Overview Welcome to the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) project in the AI Nanodegree! In this project, you will learn how to build a pipeline that can be used within a web or mobile app to process real-world, user-supplied images. Given an image of a dog, your algorithm will identify an estimate of the canine’s breed. If supplied an image of a human, the code will identify the resembling dog breed. Sample Output Along with exploring state-of-the-art CNN models for classification, you will make important design decisions about the user experience for your app. Our goal is that by completing this lab, you understand the challenges involved in piecing together a series of models designed to perform various tasks in a data processing pipeline. Each model has its strengths and weaknesses, and engineering a real-world application often involves solving many problems without a perfect answer. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience! Project Instructions Instructions Clone the repository and navigate to the downloaded folder. git clone https://github.com/udacity/dog-project.git cd dog-project Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the repo, at location path/to/dog-project/dogImages. Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the repo, at location path/to/dog-project/lfw. If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder. Download the VGG-16 bottleneck features for the dog dataset. Place it in the repo, at location path/to/dog-project/bottleneck_features. (Optional) If you plan to install TensorFlow with GPU support on your local machine, follow the guide to install the necessary NVIDIA software on your system. If you are using an EC2 GPU instance, you can skip this step. (Optional) If you are running the project on your local machine (and not using AWS), create (and activate) a new environment. Linux (to install with GPU support, change requirements/dog-linux.yml to requirements/dog-linux-gpu.yml): conda env create -f requirements/dog-linux.yml source activate dog-project Mac (to install with GPU support, change requirements/dog-mac.yml to requirements/dog-mac-gpu.yml): conda env create -f requirements/dog-mac.yml source activate dog-project NOTE: Some Mac users may need to install a different version of OpenCV conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo opencv3 Windows (to install with GPU support, change requirements/dog-windows.yml to requirements/dog-windows-gpu.yml): conda env create -f requirements/dog-windows.yml activate dog-project (Optional) If you are running the project on your local machine (and not using AWS) and Step 6 throws errors, try this alternative step to create your environment. Linux or Mac (to install with GPU support, change requirements/requirements.txt to requirements/requirements-gpu.txt): conda create --name dog-project python=3.5 source activate dog-project pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt NOTE: Some Mac users may need to install a different version of OpenCV conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo opencv3 Windows (to install with GPU support, change requirements/requirements.txt to requirements/requirements-gpu.txt): conda create --name dog-project python=3.5 activate dog-project pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt (Optional) If you are using AWS, install Tensorflow. sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements/requirements-gpu.txt Switch Keras backend to TensorFlow. Linux or Mac: KERAS_BACKEND=tensorflow python -c "from keras import backend" Windows: set KERAS_BACKEND=tensorflow python -c "from keras import backend" (Optional) If you are running the project on your local machine (and not using AWS), create an IPython kernel for the dog-project environment. python -m ipykernel install --user --name dog-project --display-name "dog-project" Open the notebook. jupyter notebook dog_app.ipynb (Optional) If you are running the project on your local machine (and not using AWS), before running code, change the kernel to match the dog-project environment by using the drop-down menu (Kernel > Change kernel > dog-project). Then, follow the instructions in the notebook. NOTE: While some code has already been implemented to get you started, you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully answer all of the questions included in the notebook. Unless requested, do not modify code that has already been included. Evaluation Your project will be reviewed by a Udacity reviewer against the CNN project rubric. Review this rubric thoroughly, and self-evaluate your project before submission. All criteria found in the rubric must meet specifications for you to pass. Project Submission When you are ready to submit your project, collect the following files and compress them into a single archive for upload: The dog_app.ipynb file with fully functional code, all code cells executed and displaying output, and all questions answered. An HTML or PDF export of the project notebook with the name report.html or report.pdf. Any additional images used for the project that were not supplied to you for the project. Please do not include the project data sets in the dogImages/ or lfw/ folders. Likewise, please do not include the bottleneck_features/ folder.

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate your ability to collect, work with, and clean a data set. The goal is to prepare tidy data that can be used for later analysis. You will be graded by your peers on a series of yes/no questions related to the project. You will be required to submit: 1) a tidy data set as described below, 2) a link to a Github repository with your script for performing the analysis, and 3) a code book that describes the variables, the data, and any transformations or work that you performed to clean up the data called CodeBook.md. You should also include a README.md in the repo with your scripts. This repo explains how all of the scripts work and how they are connected. One of the most exciting areas in all of data science right now is wearable computing - see for example this article . Companies like Fitbit, Nike, and Jawbone Up are racing to develop the most advanced algorithms to attract new users. The data linked to from the course website represent data collected from the accelerometers from the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. A full description is available at the site where the data was obtained: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Human+Activity+Recognition+Using+Smartphones Here are the data for the project: https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/getdata%2Fprojectfiles%2FUCI%20HAR%20Dataset.zip You should create one R script called run_analysis.R that does the following. Merges the training and the test sets to create one data set. Extracts only the measurements on the mean and standard deviation for each measurement. Uses descriptive activity names to name the activities in the data set Appropriately labels the data set with descriptive variable names. From the data set in step 4, creates a second, independent tidy data set with the average of each variable for each activity and each subject.
