How to build and deploy a Machine Learning web application in a day
A step-by-step and end-to-end guide to building a durian classifier (code included)
So, I decided to build a web application to classify durians because hey, why not? Check it out here.
To all my international readers, if you don’t know what a durian is, it is a fruit (in Singapore we call it the King of Fruits) that has a creamy texture, a pungent smell (see image below) and a spiky exterior. This said pungent smell makes people either hate it or absolutely LOVE it (I fall into the latter category, obviously). If you think it smells good, then it probably tastes even better.
The Problem Statement
Yes, the motivation for this project stems from my love for durian. You must be wondering, what the heck are we classifying?
You see, there are many types of durian out there and they differ by taste (duh), texture and colour. For this project, we will be classifying four different types of durian, namely:
- Mao Shan Wang
- Jin Feng (Golden Phoenix)
