Code Analysis

7 files read · 3 rounds

A PyTorch-based image classification pipeline that fine-tunes a pretrained DenseNet-121 backbone to classify White Blood Cells into five categories using weighted sampling and mixed precision training.

Strengths

Excellent modularity with clear separation of concerns (model, dataset, train, evaluate). Implements modern best practices including differential learning rates, gradient accumulation, mixed precision, and robust data loading pipelines. Configuration is centralized and clean.

Weaknesses

Lacks any test suite entirely. Error handling is minimal (no try/except blocks for common failures like missing datasets or corrupted checkpoints). The GPU-transform optimization in dataset.py can be risky if VRAM is constrained.
