[Research] Machine Learning for Recyclable Material Classification • /r/MachineLearning

This is my first post on this subreddit. I am interested in what the reddit community thinks of my thesis topic which utilizes machine learning to solve a classification problem. I am investigating the development of a software system for a self-sorting smart bin that can identify and sort plastics, metals, glass, and landfill. One of the biggest problems to crack is the identification and classification of items input into the bin. I have yet to select a machine learning algorithm to solve this classification problem but'adaptive interactive modelling systems' looks very promising.
