Download Data Kaggle art dataset: https://www.kaggle.com/thedownhill/art-images-drawings-painting-sculpture-engraving

Install Quantopian Widget: https://github.com/quantopian/qgrid

Set up your Virtual Environment on your GPU

$ conda create -n leaderboard_env python=3.6
$ source activate leaderboard_env
$ mkdir leaderboard_dir

Install requirements into leaderboard_env:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Upload data into data directory as a sub-directory of keras_leaderboard

Run main.py

$ python main.py

Model outputs will be aggregated into the directory, test:

• Within test, there will be a series of directories with the format "model_name_month_day_hour_minute" of when the model was created
  • Within these directories there will be folders containing csv's, plots and other files

Additionally, a CSV with metadata outputted for each model.

You can also run the Example.ipynb that will use the Quantopian Widget.

Run all cells in the notebook. This will generate an interactive widget.

Pull requests welcome for:

• Model configs including model_outputs, model_layers, model_configs are outputted to separate csv files but cannot fit in the final leaderboard, plus they're very ugly dict files. We need a better way to display, possible use GraphViz to draw out the configs in a tree-like structure: https://www.graphviz.org/
• In keras_leaderboard.py/def get_model_outputs(self) I added an error message Something went wrong, here's an empty dataframe because the VGG model layers in Keras only show the aggregated generic "VGG layer" not all the layers of VGG16, so for some reason it doesn't output to a dataframe nicely (I forgot how I troubleshooted it). Need to update this by asking Keras to return all layers in VGG16.
• Update the schema by introducing new classes

Ideas for improvement:

• Expand scope of models beyond ‘basic_cnn’ and ‘basic_vgg’
• Expand API to tune full range of hyperparameters for each model
• Add automated hyperparameter tuning
• Create a front-end in Plotly, create a back-end basic as SQL
• Select highest accuracy models based on acc, prec, recall and automate to deployment environment
• Replicate in PyTorch!
