First time here. I am from Kolkata, currently in Bangalore. Just started this course yesterday and had a question.
I have seen many a times on Reddit and other websites that people make use of CNNs and make emotion detectors which take live photos via the webcam and predict the emotions?

Sorry for being naive as this is my first DL course. But my vague idea of doing this is same like I had done some ML problems before.

  1. Download a face emotion dataset from Google.
  2. Train a CNN like this lesson made me learn.
  3. Pass the webcame images into this and predict results out.

This is just an idea. Currently I am stuck at the third step. There was a thing called validation set which, as was mentioned, the algorithm does not see. Is that the set where I pass these webcam images to be predicited results upon?

I really want to work upon this. If anyone can help, please reply to this. Heard great things about the fast.ai forums. :smiley:

Hey Bidyudipta,
Welcome to fastai. Your queries related to the data and the label in FASTAI is available here https://docs.fast.ai/vision.data.html.
Basically you can provide data as TRAIN VALID and TEST. If your valid set is without the labels then treat that folder as TEST actually here, and assign 20% of your training dataset as your validation set.

Navneet
