Predicting windspeed of satellite images of hurricanes
This notebook was created for a Driven Data competition.
Tools Used
- Google Collab Notebook w/ TPUs
- Python, Keras, Tensorflow
- Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
Technical Highlights
- Training set consisted of 70,000 366x366 JPG files (1 GB)
- To improve performance, Google Collab's TPUs were used
- JPG files were convered to TFRecord format and the TFRecord files were stored in a Google Bucket
- The TFRecords were streamed in batches to the model during training
- During training, model checkpoints (for the Best MSE) are saved to Google Drive
- At the end of training, the final model is also saved to Google Drive
