Dog Breed Classification

Using Convolutional Neural Networks to Classify my Puppy


My capstone project to wrap up my course (General Assembly's Data Science Immersive) was inspired by my puppy. I adopted him a few months ago, and was told that while they knew his mother was a Boston Terrier, they had no information about his father. Many people claim to see either Beagle or Boxer in Boomer, my puppy, but I wanted to settle this debate once and for all.

I learned about convolutional neural networks and implemented one to classify Boston Terriers, Beagles, and Boxers. To finish off, I ran images of Boomer through the trained model to see which breed would come out on top.
