Google Dataset Search

This is quite cool. Google has released a search tool for finding datasets! https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch

You can for instance find world surface temperature data, real-time assessment of hybridization between wolves and dogs, lot’s of x-ray datasets or data from breast cancer screenings etc…

The data seems to come from a lot of research projects where they have used different machine learning techniques to analyse the data.

Now that we have a lot better means of using machine learning and we have easy access to a lot of related data and our compute power has increased dramatically it might be that we will see quite a few improvements to older research results. I welcome this initiative and believe that the world will become a better place due to us collectively solving the worlds many problems using AI.

 

Deep Drive Dataset available

The large dataset for teaching your algorithms to drive can be downloaded from http://bdd-data.berkeley.edu/.

It contains over 100,000 HD video sequences, that make up over a thousand hours of footage. The data contains over 100 000 annotated  images for object detection for bus, traffic light, traffic sign, person, bike, truck, motor, car, train, and rider. Alos segmentation, drivable area, lane markings etc.

I love how data is released to the public for the greater good.
