Critique a CNN-Based Bridge Safety Proposal

Read the full interview experience this question came from →

Quick Overview

A proposed project collects bridge drawings from Wikipedia, trains a CNN to predict whether a bridge will collapse within the first `X` years after construction, and then starts from random image noise and uses gradient ascent on the model output to create a drawing assigned a 99.9% probability of not collapsing. Cover data and labels, leakage-safe features, baselines and model choice, offline evaluation, deployment constraints, monitoring, and drift.
