In this liveProject, you’ll utilize PyTorch and powerful semi-supervised learning techniques to construct an advanced image classifier that can tell whether a 32x32 pixel photo of a mole is melanoma-positive—despite working with a very small labelled dataset. You’ll set up your image preprocessing pipeline, feed data into your PyTorch model, and then train a semi-supervised GAN model on both labeled and unlabeled datasets.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
