The Department of Computer Science discussed the tagged master's thesis Improving Image Classification using Xception Model with Image Coding by Akram Hasan Swailem, a master's student, in the discussion hall in the building of the Department of Computer Science. The thesis aims to integrate the deep neural network with some image compression algorithms to reduce its data, which leads to reducing the image processing time as well as the storage space, taking into account the accuracy of the results. The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Ayad Rawdan Abbas as Chairman, with membership as Prof. Dr. Ikhlas Watan Ghandawi, and Prof. Dr. Ikhlas Faleh Nasser, Prof. Dr. Abdul Amir Abdullah Karim as member and supervisor, and Dr. Mustafa Jassim as member and supervisor.
