## Setup

Uses python packages `keras` with a `theano` back-end. I implemented this in `Python 2.7`.
Model weights used from Keras model of the 16-layer network used by the VGG team in the ILSVRC-2014 competition. Download can be found here: [link](https://gist.github.com/baraldilorenzo/07d7802847aaad0a35d3).
Just make sure it's downloaded in the appropriate sub-directory.
Also uses `Tkinter` to open file image for prediction.

## Competition notes and resources

* Good blog post from keras covering how to train a model using a small amount of data (examples are from this competition)[link](https://blog.keras.io/building-powerful-image-classification-models-using-very-little-data.html).
