• Title: DeepWaste: Applying Deep Learning to Waste Classification for a Sustainable Planet
• Authors: Yash Narayan
• Abstract summary: Current attempts to reduce erroneous waste disposal are expensive, inaccurate, and confusing. We propose DeepWaste, a mobile app that utilizes highly optimized deep learning techniques to provide users instantaneous waste classification into trash, recycling, and compost. Our best model, a deep learning residual neural network with 50 layers, achieves an average precision of 0.881 on the test set.

• Abstract: Accurate waste disposal, at the point of disposal, is crucial to fighting climate change. When materials that could be recycled or composted get diverted into landfills, they cause the emission of potent greenhouse gases such as methane. Current attempts to reduce erroneous waste disposal are expensive, inaccurate, and confusing. In this work, we propose DeepWaste, an easy-to-use mobile app, that utilizes highly optimized deep learning techniques to provide users instantaneous waste classification into trash, recycling, and compost. We experiment with several convolution neural network architectures to detect and classify waste items. Our best model, a deep learning residual neural network with 50 layers, achieves an average precision of 0.881 on the test set. We demonstrate the performance and efficiency of our app on a set of real-world images.

  This work is aimed at creating a system that can classify different types of plastics by using picture analysis, in particular, black plastics of the type Polystyrene (PS) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) A Convolutional Neural Network has been tested and retrained, obtaining a validation accuracy of 95%. Using a separate test set, average accuracy goes down to 86.6%, but a further look at the results shows that the ABS type is correctly classified 100% of the time, so it is the PS type that accumulates all the errors.
