Surbhi G. - "In order to train a machine learning model for license plate detection, which is essentially image recognition, I would first need a large labeled dataset of images featuring license plates. From hereon, I would use a model architecture suitable for image-related tasks, like CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks). When it comes to deploying the model, I would first optimize it, aiming for the best balance between speed and accuracy. Depending on the specifications, the model could be deployed eith"See full answer
