Building a perfect dataset

When it comes to compiling a dataset to train your model knowing what to include can be difficult. The more images you have, the better the model will learn your aesthetic. However, you can’t comprimise either the variety of elements in the dataset or your unique artistic style.

To help you our machine learning team have put together a comprehensive list of options for you to draw from. Don’t worry about having every single item, but if you’re in need of inspiration on what to add look no further.

A perfect dataset should have something from each of the following categories:

1. People

2. Animals

3. Nature

4. Weather
