SUMMARY: This project aims to construct a predictive model using a TensorFlow convolutional neural network (CNN) and document the end-to-end steps using a template. The Tomato Leaf Disease Dataset is a multi-class classification situation where we attempt to predict one of several (more than two) possible outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: The dataset contains over 20,000 images of tomato leaves with ten diseases and one healthy class. The research team collected these images to investigate the possibilities of developing a lightweight model that can predict tomato leaf disease on a mobile app.

ANALYSIS: The ResNet50V2 model’s performance achieved an accuracy score of 96.48% after five epochs using the training dataset. When we applied the model to the validation dataset, the model achieved an accuracy score of 96.56%.

CONCLUSION: In this iteration, the TensorFlow ResNet50V2 CNN model appeared suitable for modeling this dataset.
