The Optical Character Recognition with CNN is a machine learning project that uses Inference / generation module and Dataset loader and transforms, built and evaluated with ONNX export. It follows a reproducible, modular workflow where data preparation, model training, evaluation, and serving stay clearly separated. The project emphasizes solid engineering alongside modelling, so it can be extended, retrained, and presented confidently as a final year capstone.
Existing approaches to this problem are often manual, inconsistent, and unable to scale with larger or noisier data. Without a data-driven system built on Dataset loader and transforms and ONNX export, decisions are slow and prone to bias, and there is no structured way to measure performance or adapt to changing patterns over time.
This project develops an end-to-end ML solution that ingests data through Inference / generation module, builds and tunes a model with ONNX export, and exposes results through Loss and optimizer configuration. The workflow is designed for reproducibility and easy retraining, with clear evaluation metrics and logging. It delivers faster, consistent, data-backed results and can be extended to related problems with minimal changes.

The project is organized in layers: the data layer prepares and validates inputs through Inference / generation module; the modelling layer trains and tunes the model with ONNX export and Dataset loader and transforms; and the serving layer exposes predictions via Loss and optimizer configuration. Shared configuration, evaluation, and logging modules support every layer, and the whole pipeline is version-controlled and reproducible. This structure makes the project easy to debug, benchmark, and extend.
