## What is it about?

Sixth place solution to kaggle bengali handwritten digit recognition. Achieved 97.606%. A VGG16 architecture pre-trained on imagenet used as a baseline with hyperparameter tuning, fine tuning intermediate layers, data augmentation and test time augmentation.

The unconventional approach led to surprising results which caught Jeremy Howard's attention which he ended up [tweeting about](https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1050427625011703808)! 

## Usage 

This architecture is implemented in Python 3.6 and Keras using Tensorflow as backend.

### Dependencies

Tested code using:

*    Ubuntu 14.04

*    Python 3.6

### Directory Structure & Usage

* `codes`: Contains codes to final submission

* `others`: Contains helper codes and experimental notebooks. VERY MESSY!

## Data set  

* [Numta DB](https://www.kaggle.com/c/numta/data)
