Imagenet

INSTRUCTOR NOTE:

The terms "aughts" or "oughts" refers to the first decade of a century. In this context the "late aughts" refers to the latter part of the first decade of the 2000's.

ImageNet was its own competition from 2012-2017, but now it's hosted on Kaggle ! There are 1,000 different image categories between over 14 million images, so it's a great way to get involved with large datasets.

Pre-training a network with the ImageNet dataset is a very common way to get a strong neural network that can be used for transfer learning. With recent versions of Keras, you can easily import a pre-trained network by using the Keras Applications models. We'll come back to this soon.
