Challenges we ran into

  1. We lack GPUs in our system due to which machine learning program execution becomes too slow. To solve this problem, we use online google colabs.
  2. In google colabs, we were not able to access the data from our local directory and it was a large file too,therefore, it took a long time to upload it online. To solve this problem, we convert it to zip file so that it can be uploaded soon.
  3. We were only two members in the team and none of us do had the time to create a web application, therefore, we use online website creating tool to create a dummy web application.
  4. Our created web scraper was unable to work on dermnet website properly, therefore to fix this, we used image downloader extension and prepare the entire data from scratch using the downloaded raw images.
