In this liveProject, you’ll use the popular deep learning framework PyTorch to train a supervised learning model on a dataset of melanoma images. Your final product will be a basic image classifier that can spot the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous moles. You’ll create a custom dataset class and data loaders that can handle image preprocessing and data augmentation, and even improve the accuracy of your model with transfer learning.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
