Professor Oak, the renowned Pokémon researcher, has developed an advanced Pokédex upgrade that utilizes neural networks to classify Pokémon types. However, a mishap caused by an overexcited Pikachu has disrupted crucial data files, leaving the system in chaos. Now, trainers must step up to the challenge—training a CNN model to restore order and complete the classifier, ensuring the Pokédex can once again identify Pokémon with precision.

Welcome, Pokémon Trainer! Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! ⚡ I’m Professor Oak, the leading Pokémon researcher, and I’ve been working on an advanced Pokédex upgrade that can automatically classify Pokémon types using cutting-edge neural networks. This breakthrough could revolutionize how trainers understand their Pokémon! BUT… there’s been a slight hiccup in the lab. My Pikachu got a little too excited and—well, let’s just say a few crucial data files were shocked into oblivion. ⚡💥 Now, the entire system is scrambled, and I need your help to restore order and complete the classifier! Your mission: Train a CNN model to classify Pokémon by type and help me get the Pokédex back on track. Are you up for the challenge, Trainer? Let’s GO! 🎮 Notebook link: https://www.kaggle.com/code/gl3mon/apoorvquestion Dataset link: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/gl3mon/apoorvctf

Greetings, Trainer!
I am Professor Oak, and I’m working on an exciting new upgrade for the Pokédex!
For years, the Pokédex has relied on manual data entry and preprogrammed knowledge to classify Pokémon types. But I believe it’s time for an upgrade—a smarter, more advanced system that can instantly recognize a Pokémon’s type just by looking at it!
To make this happen, I’m developing a powerful new Pokédex feature using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). With this, the Pokédex will be able to analyze Pokémon images and determine their type with incredible accuracy. But I need the help of skilled trainers like you to fine-tune this cutting-edge technology!
Your mission:
Make sure you have imported the dataset required for training the model.
Train and refine the CNN model for Pokémon type classification.
Make sure you use the GPU T4x2 Accelerator to train the model.
Optimize its performance to make the Pokédex faster and smarter.
Help revolutionize Pokémon research with this groundbreaking upgrade!
Are you ready to be part of Pokédex history? Let’s get started! 🚀🔍
