This repository contains an implementation of the AlexNet convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture using Pytorch. The model is trained to classify images of cats and dogs.

AlexNet is a convolutional neural network architecture proposed by Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever, and Geoffrey Hinton. It gained significant attention after winning the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge in 2012, demonstrating remarkable performance in image classification tasks. The architecture consists of five convolutional layers followed by three fully connected layers, along with max-pooling layers and ReLU activation functions.

The model is trained on a dataset containing images of cats and dogs. The dataset is divided into training and validation sets for model training and evaluation. The dataset can be found here- https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-7jdS8Zt8JQBB6L8Ma545-HmP2qbtnbV?usp=sharing

Install Dependencies

• Torchvision
• PIL
• Numpy
• Matplotlib
• os
• Torch

Training: python alexnetscatsanddogs.py Replace path_to_image.jpg with the path to the image you want to classify.

After training and evaluation, the model achieves a certain accuracy on the validation set. The performance can be further analyzed through confusion matrices, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics.

The implementation is inspired by the original AlexNet paper and PyTorch's documentation. The dataset used in this project is sourced from [source_link], and we acknowledge their contribution to making it publicly available.
