Technical Details
Architecture
The project utilizes a hybrid approach combining convolutional neural networks with attention mechanisms:
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers
def create_model():
base_model = tf.keras.applications.ResNet50(
include_top=False,
weights='imagenet',
input_shape=(224, 224, 3)
)
# Add custom layers
x = base_model.output
x = layers.GlobalAveragePooling2D()(x)
x = layers.Dropout(0.5)(x)
x = layers.Dense(1024, activation='relu')(x)
x = layers.Dropout(0.5)(x)
outputs = layers.Dense(num_classes, activation='softmax')(x)
model = tf.keras.Model(base_model.input, outputs)
return model
