Part of the Practical Tech Guide Series, this book focuses on what actually matters: how to take a folder of images and turn it into a working model you understand and control. You don't need a machine learning background. If you can run a command and open a browser, you can follow this guide from start to finish. Inside, you'll learn: - What image classification is and how it works (in simple terms) - How to prepare and organise your own image dataset - How to train models locally on your own machine - How to choose the right architecture (PyTorch and TensorFlow) - How to read accuracy, loss, and training results with confidence - How to improve your model with better data and tuning - When to use local training vs cloud or browser-based tools Everything is built around a simple, open-source training tool with a browser-based interface - so you can focus on results, not boilerplate code. No deep math. No unnecessary theory. No black boxes. Whether you're experimenting with AI, building a small project, or working with sensitive data you don't want to upload to the cloud, this guide gives you a clear, practical path. If you want to train AI image models locally - and actually understand what you're doing - this book is for you.
