Data Engineering Case Study

Scientific Image Forgery Detection Pipeline

End-to-end pipeline for a Kaggle competition: synthetic image generation, dataset versioning and publication via Kaggle API, automated training, model export, and submission delivery.

Top 10 leaderboard (1 month) API-driven dataset versioning Automated train/export/submit

Data Engineering Impact

The objective was not only model score. The project was engineered as a reusable and reliable data workflow that can be rerun with low manual effort and clear traceability.

  • Abilities acquired: synthetic data generation, API dataset versioning, workflow orchestration, and reproducible model delivery.
  • Success: reached top 10 on the competition leaderboard during one month.
  • Pipeline ownership: from source data to published dataset, training run, artifact export, and final prediction submission.

Forged Image Examples

Pipeline Schema

01. Source Dataset

Take a cell image dataset as initial ground truth.

->
02. Forgery Algorithm

Apply transformation logic to create new forged images.

->
03. Dataset Publish

Create and push a new dataset version using Kaggle API.

->
04. Model Training

Use the generated dataset in the training notebook pipeline.

->
05. Model Export

Export model outputs and artifacts through Kaggle workflow.

->
06. Prediction Submit

Run inference and submit predictions to the competition board.
