A guide to get started with Deep Learning

Hello there! I recently built an image classifier for one of my projects. It was fun but as a newbie, it was very difficult for me to figure out where and how to get started. With a huge amount of online resources and tutorials, it becomes very difficult to understand what exactly to do. So I decided to write a blog on how I pulled off my image classifier.  Note: this blog only contains info on how to get started. I haven't covered the concepts of deep learning. That's a topic for another day! What is the issue? So, for image classification, you need to build and train a model that you will use later for prediction. For image classification, we use  Convolutional Neural Network(CNN).  There are several ways to build and train the model. The most popular and efficient of them is  TensorFlow . That being said I decided to use TensorFlow for my project and here is my experience. One thing about TensorFlow (as per my experience) is that it is very difficult to install.  Fo
