🚀 What's Inside

🔹 1. Computer Vision Projects

Projects demonstrating convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and image-processing workflows.

• Image Classification with CNNs (Keras/PyTorch) Custom CNN architecture trained on image datasets (e.g., CIFAR-10, MNIST). Includes data augmentation, model evaluation, and training visualizations.

• Transfer Learning Models Using pretrained networks like ResNet, VGG16, EfficientNet for improved accuracy on small datasets.

• Image Segmentation / Object Detection (if applicable) UNet, Mask R-CNN, YOLO pipelines for segmentation or detection tasks.

🔹 2. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Projects

Exploring deep learning models for text understanding and generation.

• Text Classification Sentiment analysis using LSTMs, GRUs, or transformer-based models.

• Word Embeddings & Sequence Models Training with word2vec, GloVe, or embeddings built through embedding layers.

• Transformer Models Text summarization, translation, or question answering using BERT/DistilBERT or custom transformers.

🔹 3. Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Experiments with RL environments using DQN, PPO, or policy-gradient methods.

• Training agents in OpenAI Gym environments
• Reward optimization & exploration strategies
