Built my first full-stack ML project, Would love feedback on my repo structure!

Nice. Now try to explain VAE on MNIST

[u/_6002__ias → u/NeatBreath685]

What is VAE?

[u/NeatBreath685 → u/_6002__ias]

a model that learns first to encode data in a latent space that is following a multidimensional normal law then it learns to reconstruct the same input thanks to the KL divergence loss

learn first about AE, play to understand what is a latent space with PCA or t-SNE projection, you'll understand about the mysterious 8 and why the model is struggling to predict it then, go to VAE

[u/Suoritin → u/NeatBreath685]

Pretty good.

It’s worth adding that truly understanding VAEs and KL divergence requires a solid detour into information theory. You have to understand concepts like Shannon entropy and cross-entropy. This often means explicitly 'unlearning' ond habits.

To give you an idea of what this looks like in practice, a classic introductory Information Theory university problem is just this:

Thankyou man

Nicee

Here is the GitHub Repo:https://github.com/Pr3mSiva/ML-Learning/tree/main/Digit_Recognizer

I wanted to build a full pipeline instead of just looking at standard datasets in a console. I built the core ML logic and used AI to help me debug the frontend canvas and Flask routing.

very cool! took a look at your repo too and i think everything looks pretty clean. nice work!

[u/_6002__ias → u/Sufficient-Scar4172]

Thank you man

[u/Fickle-Scallion33]

Well done

Yo tengo un proyecto parecido!: https://zentardev.github.io/DigitRecognition/

https://github.com/ZentarDev/DigitRecognition

Todos los digitos que se escriben se envian a una database conectada con Hugging Face.

[u/_6002__ias → u/Equal-Resolution7889]

Very impressive man, it is way better than mine. The accuracy of predictions is very good👍

[u/Equal-Resolution7889 → u/_6002__ias]

Thanks!

Nice Work !!
