ML Masters Research Project : Beginnings

In my previous post, I wrote about my journey from a mechanical engineering graduate to becoming a masters student in machine learning at University of Toronto. In this post, I would like to share my process of getting started with my deep learning/computer vision research project in academic research setting. He later added that the image data would be Xray scans of baggages at airport security. The trained deep learning model would be identifying baggages that contain dangerous items, a task usually performed by security personnels at the airport. The professor shared with me a dataset folder containing the Xray baggage images.
