Hey, HN! I am colorblind and I can&#x27;t reliably identify when a banana is ripe enough to eat, so I made a machine learning model that does it for me. The model (92% val accuracy, ~12MB) runs on your device (tf.js) and you can upload directly from the camera on mobile.<p>Feedback is always appreciated!<p>Data, code and trained model are available here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;giovannipcarvalho&#x2F;banana-ripeness-classification" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;giovannipcarvalho&#x2F;banana-ripeness-classif...</a>

I tried to guess an album covers decade: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uncover-a-covers-decade.onrender.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uncover-a-covers-decade.onrender.com&#x2F;</a><p>You are doing the fast.ai course too, right? [edit: looking at your code, no, you did not :)]<p>I chose my challenge to maximize my learning through something challenging enough it might fail. It&#x27;s only right 60-70% of the time.<p>What I learned:<p>- Binning in to decades might not be Ideal. Something from 79 and 80 is more similar than something from 71 and 79. I guess a better approach would have been smaller bins (3 or more per decade) and than rounding the result to the decade.<p>- Be careful how you gather your learning data. I pulled from the google image search with something like &quot;album OR LP cover 20s&#x2F;30s&#x2F;40s...&quot;; this has ~20% &quot;best of the XXs&quot; collections in them where the cover was designed in a much later decade. I should have searched for &quot;1920 OR 1921 OR 1922...&quot;.

I just uploaded an image with some portuguese custard pies and the model went bananas.

Nice, pretty cool project. It correctly identified some bananas I had just bought as a little green.<p>Any chance for making an avocado identifier, because those are pretty tough to guess wether they are ripe.

Cool website! Can you go through how you set up the whole thing?

Next, can you develop Not Banana app? I think you could hit it big with that.
