Abstract

Now it’s time to put all we have learned together and see how the techniques we have learned so far can be used on a real dataset. We will use a dataset that I have used successfully as my end project in my university course on deep learning: the "collection of textures in colorectal cancer histology". This dataset can be found on several websites:

    In plane geometry, a shear mapping is a linear map that displaces each point in a fixed direction, by an amount proportional to its signed distance from the line that is parallel to that direction and goes through the origin. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping .
