Getting Started

Cloud-Based Development (Recommended)

This portfolio is designed for cloud-based development with no local data storage. All heavy computation and data processing happens in the cloud.

Google Colab:

1. Open any notebook from /notebooks/colab/
2. Enable GPU runtime: Runtime → Change runtime type → GPU
3. Run the first cell to install dependencies
4. Data downloads directly to Colab's temporary storage

Kaggle:

1. Upload notebook to Kaggle
2. Enable GPU accelerator
3. Add datasets as input data (no local storage needed)
4. Run training in Kaggle's cloud environment

Local Development (Code Only)

The local workspace contains only code, documentation, and configuration files. No datasets or trained models are stored locally.

# Clone the repository (code only)
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd deeplearning_analysis

# View project structure
ls -la

# Edit code locally, run training in cloud

Data Management Philosophy

• No Local Data Storage: All medical datasets remain in cloud platforms
• Cloud-First Training: GPU training happens in Colab/Kaggle environments
• Code Version Control: Only source code and documentation in Git
• Temporary Results: Model outputs stored temporarily in cloud sessions
