PyData Tel Aviv Meetup #10
29 November 2017
Sponsored and Hosted by Kenshoo
https://www.meetup.com/PyData-Tel-Aviv/

This talk will discuss how to train a Convolutional Neural Network to detect the main four characters of the Simpsons. We'll go over the main issues in such a project: 

- Lack of tagged data, but plenty of images in Google searches, which led me to generate the training set by myself.

- Transfer Learning: using other pre-trained networks as a jump-start in training our model.

The talk will be followed by some Keras code snippets and highlights from videos that were tagged by the model.
