In this session, you will learn how to participate in a Kaggle competition. Kaggle is an online community of data scientists and machine learning practitioners that frequently holds public competitions. To hone our deep learning skills, we will participate in an image classification competition called “”Kannada MNIST””. The goal is to build a model that can accurately classify numbers written in Kannada, which is a South Indian language. This will be a live code-along in which we will build our model from scratch, however those who would just like to watch are equally welcome! While a basic familiarity with python and deep learning will be helpful, the only requirement for participation is a browser and a stable internet connection.
