Optimized CNN Architecture for Enhanced Tiny Image Classification Using Hyperparameter Tuning and Regularization
摘要
This study introduces a custom-designed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) aimed at enhancing classification performance while minimizing computational overhead for image recognition tasks. The proposed model integrates advanced techniques such as batch normalization, max-pooling, and dynamic dropout layers to address overfitting and stabilize training. This approach explores the impact of various hyperparameters, including learning rates, weight initialization strategies, and optimizers, to systematically optimize the training process. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the CIFAR-10 highlights dataset validate the efficacy of the proposed custom architecture in achieving superior accuracy and efficient feature extraction compared to standard CNN models. The study highlights the role of hyperparameter tuning in optimizing deep learning models for real-world applications.
