Famous Machine Learning Datasets - Machine Learning Wiki

• MNIST dataset, a collection of 70,000+ labeled digits, starting point of machine learning practice
• Beginner Machine Learning data
• Each image is 28 by 28 pixels so 784 data points per image
• Pixel value 0 to 255. Grayscale, zero means black, 255 means white or completely lit
• Often used in Google Tensorflow demos
• sklearn provides this dataset too
• Small images written by students teachers and government workers
• Inception-v3 pre-trained Inception-v3 model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for recognizing general objects with 1000 classes, like "Zebra", "Dalmatian", and "Dishwasher"
• vgg19 image data
• What is VGG-16?
  
  
  "Since 2010, ImageNet has hosted an annual challenge where research teams present solutions to image classification and other tasks by training on the ImageNet dataset. ImageNet currently has millions of labeled images; it’s one of the largest high-quality image datasets in the world. The Visual Geometry group at the University of Oxford did really well in 2014 with two network architectures: VGG-16, a 16-layer convolutional Neural Network, and VGG-19, a 19-layer Convolutional Neural Network."
• Imagenet can output 1000+ classes. If we don't need that many, instead need transfer learning should consider replacing it with bottleneck of only 1-10 classes.

• 1000+ different objects in 1.3 million high resolution training images

• “Twenty Newsgroups” The 20 Newsgroups data set is a collection of approximately 20,000 newsgroup documents, partitioned (nearly) evenly across 20 different newsgroups. To the best of our knowledge, it was originally collected by Ken Lang, probably for his paper “Newsweeder: Learning to filter netnews,” though he does not explicitly mention this collection. The 20 newsgroups collection has become a popular data set for experiments in text applications of machine learning techniques, such as text classification and text clustering.
