Description

This study investigates whether Monte Carlo uncertainty estimation and probability distributions can be used to identify ancestral composition of mixed-breed dogs. A dataset containing images of purebred dogs was used to train a Monte Carlo Dropout model. The trained model will next be tested on images of mixed breed dogs. Our hypothesis is that the model can be used to provide informative probability distribution for breed ancestry classification, offering a potentially valuable tool for analyzing the genetics of dogs.
