Convolutional Neural Network from Scratch — Academic Project (May 2026)
Built a convolutional neural network from scratch to classify handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset. Developed and compared multiple CNN architectures (baseline, deeper, and robust) to systematically improve classification accuracy. Documented experiments and results to support model selection and performance optimization. • Implemented CNN architecture variants for MNIST digit classification. • Trained and compared models to optimize classification accuracy. • Documented baselines and architectural changes across experiments. • Used MNIST dataset inputs as the training/evaluation data.
