Tasks
Task 2:
Design, implement and report on neural network-based techniques for classification of a dataset of images. Write a 3000 words research report, in the style of a research paper, including the following:
• The research question(s) you are exploring and the experiments you designed to address these question(s).
• A clear presentation of the methods (neural network implementation, network architectures, training regime, etc.) that were used, an outline of how they were implemented, and a discussion of why these methods were chosen.
• A clear presentation of results, discussion and interpretation of results and conclusions.
• Please follow the marking scheme to ensure your report includes all required sections.

Format of the research paper:
Coursework Title In 16 Point Times New Roman, Fully Capitalised And Centred And One Blank Line After The Title
Student Number in 14 point Times New Roman & Centred
Abstract: Type abstract in, 11 point times New Roman, single-spaced type with zero spacing before and after and the word abstract in bold. All manuscripts must be in English. All text after Abstract must be in a two-column format. Give two blank lines before starting introduction.
1.Formatting your page:
Top & Bottom Margins: 2.5cm Left & Right Margins: 2.5cm
All text after Abstract must be in a two- column format, single spaced in 12 point times New Roman.
Please do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs.
Columns are to be 7.6 cm wide, with a 0.8cm space between them. Text must be fully justified.
2.First-order headings:
For example, "1. Introduction", should be 14 Times New Roman boldface, initially capitalised, flush left, with one blank line before, and one blank line after. Use a period (".") after the heading number, not a colon.
2.1.Second-order headings:
As in this heading, they should be 12 Point Times New Roman boldface, initially capitalised, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.
2.1.1.Third-order headings. Third- order headings, as in this paragraph, are discouraged. However, if you must use them, use 12 Points Times New Roman boldface, boldface, initially capitalised, flush left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a period and your text on the same line.
3.Page numbering and Footnotes:
No page numbering and Do not use any footnotes.
4.Illustrations, Figures, photographs and tables:
All should have captions below and centred 11 Points Times New Roman within two columns at the top or bottom of the page with NO Bold face or Italics
