Have you ever being in a situation to guess another person’s age? Well May be YES!! How about playing games like finding things in minimum time? or about finding the written character where your doctor wrote in the prescription when you are sick? Well everyone faced these problems in real life. How about asking your machine or your favorite computer to do the task for you. Isn’t it great? well computers actually do by using Machine Learning. so for doing this we actually need to train the machine by using some powerful datasets. The key to getting better most fields in life is practice. Practice on a variety of problem from image processing to speech recognition. Each of these problem has it’s own unique technique and approach. But how do you get this data? Working on these datasets will make you a better data expert and the amount of learning you will have will be invaluable in your career. We have listed a collection of high quality datasets that every Machine learning enthusiast should work on to apply and improve their skill.

The dataset consists of wall images with or without cracks It has images with shadow of some wires also which exactly looks like cracks on the wall, we should train the system carefully so that it has to differentiate between cracks and shadow. This dataset is very challenging which will revamp your coding skills. Description: The dataset has 1428 items of which 1428 items have been manually labeled. Categories: crack, no-crack Format: images Default task: image classification Created by : Data Turks Download link: https://dataturks.com/projects/miaozh17/Crack%20Classification IIT-5K OCR dataset Has 5K labeled images of street signs cropped to just contain the portion that has the text. Quite a difficult dataset with even the best vision algorithms being at 80% accuracy rates. (Read: comparison of on this dataset) Google, AWS, Microsoft OCR APIs to the dataset. Link CARS dataset This dataset is to identify cars in the images. The set has different images which does or does not have cars in it. The main objective of this dataset is to identify even the small parts of the car in the images. This dataset is human labeled dataset. Description: dataset has 613 items of which 604 items have been manually labeled. Categories: cars, no-cars. Format : images Default task : image classification. Created by: Data Turks.

Department of Defense (DoD) Counterdrug Technology Development Program Office sponsored the Face Recognition Technology (FERET) program. The goal of the FERET program was to develop automatic face recognition capabilities that could be employed to assist security, intelligence, and law enforcement personnel in the performance of their duties. The FERET database was collected in 15 sessions between August 1993 and July 1996. The database contains 1564 sets of images for a total of 14,126 images that includes 1199 individuals and 365 duplicate sets of images. A duplicate set is a second set of images of a person already in the database and was usually taken on a different day. Description:11338 images of 1199 individuals in different positions and at different times. Format: images Default task: Classification, face recognition Created : 2003 by United States Department of Defense Download link : https:// /.../ www.nist.gov face-recognition-technology-feret Face Detection Has around 1300 faces marked as rectangular bounding boxes in images. Images range from part pics to random people on streets. to Dataset. Link CALTECH-101 dataset is a of . The Caltech 101 data set was used to train and test several machine learning, computer vision recognition and classification algorithms. A set of annotations is provided for each image. Each set of annotations contains two pieces of information: the general bounding box in which the object is located and a detailed human-specified outline enclosing the object. Caltech 101 data set digital images A MATLAB script is provided with the annotations. It loads an image and its corresponding annotation file and displays them as a MATLAB figure. The Caltech 101 data set aims at alleviating many of these common problems. The images are cropped and re-sized. Many categories are represented, which suits both single and multiple class recognition algorithms. Detailed object outlines are marked. Available for general use, Caltech 101 acts as a common standard by which to compare different algorithms without bias due to different data sets. Description: Pictures of objects, detailed object outlines marked. Instances: 9,146 images, split between 101 different object categories, as well as an additional background/clutter category.

Download link: https://dataturks.com/projects/briannaorg/UXBot LABELME Dataset LabelMe is a project created by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) which provides a dataset of digital images with annotations. The dataset is dynamic, free to use, and open to public contribution. The motivation behind creating LabelMe comes from the history of publicly available data for computer vision researchers. Most available data was tailored to a specific research group’s problems and caused new researchers to have to collect additional data to solve their own problems. LabelMe was created to solve several common shortcomings of available data Description : Large dataset of images for object classification. Format : Images, Text. Default task : Image Classification, object detection.
