Untied? is a website / app that uses AI to analyze an image of a shoe, and tell you if your shoe is tied or not based on image recognition.

Inspiration

One of our friends jokingly suggested we make an app that can tell if your shoe is tied or not, and we took this opportunity and the theme of AI to learn how exactly we could create such an app.

What it does

This website allows you to upload an image of your show, determining (and printing) whether or not your shoe is tied based on an image classification model we trained.

How we built it

We used Python to build a image classification model using keras to create a single layer convolution neural network, using relu activation and softmax.

Challenges we ran into

We came into the hackathon without much experience in writing an image classification, so we essentially had to learn the basics in 25 hours to get our model to work. Also, because the data we would need for such a model isn't widely available, we needed to create training and testing data sets ourselves.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a somewhat working classification model from scratch.

What we learned

How baseline image classification works and training a model using keras.

What's next for Untied?

Getting interactivity with a website working properly as well as a larger data set to more accurately classify images.
