Instagram Predict: First attempt

First attempt on predicting the likes a photo will get on Instagram.

Given a list of Instagram users, it downloads their latest photos with their corresponding likes and the number of their followers. Then, it creates a CNN model with Keras on Tensorflow that predicts the number of likes an image will get.

2. Run python3 scraper.py
3. The data are now saved under /data
4. Run python3 Analyze/analyzer.py to download the images under data/download and a create a CNN model that predicts the number of likes based on the image and the number of followers.
5. The model is saved under /models
6. Place the images whose likes you want to predict under Analyze/to_predict
7. Go to predictor.py and add the number of followers of each image's user (line 12)
8. Run python3 predictor.py
