What it is

Research project asking: when a CNN says two images are similar, does that match what humans say? Designed a behavioural experiment and compared CNN feature similarity to human judgments across animal images.

What I shipped

  • Extracted image features using pre-trained CNNs (VGG16, ResNet) and computed similarity matrices.
  • Designed and shipped a behavioural experiment in HTML/CSS/JS to collect human similarity judgments on the same image pairs.
  • Statistical comparison of model vs human representations across categories.
  • Won Best Research Award · SnT Council, IIT Kanpur.
