Accuracy – why at almost 70

You might be wondering why you can't get the accuracy of your dataset any higher. As there are 10 different classes, pure guessing would give us 10%. Reaching 50% is already a relatively good result. With a number of small improvements, we managed to increase the score and reach 70%, which isn't bad at all. In the following chapters we will cover more techniques to demonstrate how we can go over 80% by using a pretrained set of networks.
