🌸 Iris Deep Learning Classifier

This repository contains a deep learning-based classifier for the classic Iris flower dataset. The model is built using TensorFlow and Keras, and demonstrates how to apply neural networks to a simple multiclass classification problem.

---

📊 Dataset

The Iris dataset is a well-known dataset used for pattern recognition. It contains 150 samples of iris flowers, divided into three species: Setosa, Versicolor, and Virginica. Each sample has four features:

• Sepal length
• Sepal width
• Petal length
• Petal width

---

🧠 Model Overview

The model is a feedforward neural network (using Sequential from Keras) trained to classify the iris species based on the four input features. It uses:

• Dense layers with ReLU activation
• Categorical output with softmax
• Evaluation via classification report

🚀 Installation

To run this project locally, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Kushan2k/simple-iris-dl-classifier.git
cd iris-dl-classifier

2. Setup a virtual environment(Optional)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Required Libraries:

• numpy
• matplotlib
• seaborn
• tensorflow
• scikit-learn

If requirements.txt is missing, you can install manually:

pip install numpy matplotlib seaborn tensorflow scikit-learn

🧪 How to Run

You can run the notebook using:

jupyter notebook iris_dataset.ipynb

Or convert to a script:

jupyter nbconvert --to script iris_dataset.ipynb
python iris_dataset.py

📈 Results

After training, the model is evaluated using:

• Accuracy
• Confusion matrix
• Classification report

You’ll also see visualizations of the training history and predictions using matplotlib and seaborn.
