Here’s an interesting challenge. Can you train a CNN where, if you use the CAM heatmap technique from lesson 7, it highlights the dog in the image here?:
I suspect that our dogs v cats model or even basic imagenet model may be successful. I’d be interested if anyone makes it work!
BTW it looks like “dalmatian” is an imagenet category, so you should be able to use it in CAM. 
Hi @jeremy ,
I did a prelim. investigation, and it actually doesn’t look so bad. Here’s the heatmap:
But to be honest. I did cheat a bit. I searched for some google images with the keywords ‘Dalmatian’ and ‘Dalmatian Snow’ and added them to the training set (100 images from each search ) 
Of course, I visually inspected to ensure this particular image was not in the download list.
I prolly should’ve also tried with the existing cats/dogs image-set, but I didn’t. I also think solving this problem in the scope of the dog-breeding challenge might shed more insight on the model performance.
