Deep CNN for Fashion MNIST – Stage 3 Model Tuning

This model is part of a structured project focused on building and improving deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for clothing item classification using the Fashion MNIST dataset.
This is Stage 3, where architectural tuning with Batch Normalisation and Dropout was introduced to improve performance and generalisation.

Architecture Summary

• Conv2D layers: 32 → 64 → 128 filters
• Batch Normalisation + ReLU after each
• MaxPooling after each block
• Dropout applied after conv blocks and dense layer
• Dense(128) → Dense(10) with softmax output

Evaluation Metrics (on Test Set)

Metric	Value
Accuracy	0.9012
Precision	0.9053
Recall	0.9012
F1 Score	0.8992

Dataset

• Fashion MNIST (28x28 grayscale images)
• 60,000 training samples
• 10,000 test samples
• 10 clothing classes
