Abstract: The increasing demand for accessible and efficient machine learning solutions has led to the development of the Adaptive Learning Framework (ALF) for multi-class, single-label image classification. Unlike existing low-code tools, ALF integrates multiple transfer learning backbones with a guided, adaptive workflow that empowers non-technical users to create custom classification models without specialized expertise. It employs pre-trained models from TensorFlow Hub to significantly reduce computational costs and training times while maintaining high accuracy. The platform’s User Interface (UI), built using Streamlit, enables intuitive operations, such as dataset upload, class definition, and model training, without coding requirements. This research focuses on small-scale image datasets to demonstrate ALF’s accessibility and ease of use. Evaluation metrics highlight the superior performance of transfer learning approaches, with the InceptionV2 model architecture achieving the highest accuracy. By bridging the gap between complex deep learning methods and real-world usability, ALF addresses practical needs across fields like education and industry.
