Improved VGG-16

Introduction

In this project, I have tried to increase accuracy rate by gathering DAG-CNN architecture and Atrous convolution pyramid. After the models are trained, there are two different ensemble methods I have applied. First one is common one that gets the most common prediction among all the models and the second one is Logistic Regression that trains a model to predict correctly.

NOTE: Not much time was spent on hypertuning.
