Trash Image Classification
Three architectures, one dataset, identical settings — so the comparison actually means something.

The setup
Coursework split three ways — one model each, trained on the same 2,885-image dataset of six waste classes and compared under identical settings, so the differences between the runs came from the architectures rather than from the training budget.
My track
I took EfficientNet-B0 to 86.5% test accuracy, then built it into a smart-bin demo that classifies whatever you hold up to the webcam in real time. A teammate's YOLOv8 scored highest overall at 93.2%.
