Developed a Convolutional Neural Network to Classify Handwritten Digits with an accuracy of 99.12% Engineered the training, validation (15% of training set) and test datasets into 28 x 28 x 1 pixels Performed pixel normalization to make the model learn better (from [0,255] to [0,1]) Generated Sequential Model with 3 Convolutional Blocks, each block consists of 2 Conv2D layers with LeakyRelU activation layers, then the MaxPool2D layer (to reduce the size of the image), and finally the Dropout layer (to drop the few activation nodes while training).
