Cat vs. Dog Image Classification
Exercise 2: Reducing Overfitting
Estimated completion time: 30 minutes
In this notebook we will build on the model we created in Exercise 1 to classify cats vs. dogs, and improve accuracy by employing a couple strategies to reduce overfitting: data augmentation and dropout.
We will follow these steps:
- Explore how data augmentation works by making random transformations to training images.
- Add data augmentation to our data preprocessing.
- Add dropout to the convnet.
- Retrain the model and evaluate loss and accuracy.
