@ -76,3 +76,60 @@ If you use the Caltech-256 dataset in your research or development work, please
We would like to acknowledge Gregory Griffin, Alex Holub, and Pietro Perona for creating and maintaining the Caltech-256 dataset as a valuable resource for the machine learning and computer vision research community. For more information about the
Caltech-256 dataset and its creators, visit the [Caltech-256 dataset website](https://data.caltech.edu/records/nyy15-4j048).
## FAQ
### What is the Caltech-256 dataset and why is it important for machine learning?
The [Caltech-256](https://data.caltech.edu/records/nyy15-4j048) dataset is a large image dataset used primarily for object classification tasks in machine learning and computer vision. It consists of around 30,000 color images divided into 257 categories, covering a wide range of real-world objects. The dataset's diverse and high-quality images make it an excellent benchmark for evaluating object recognition algorithms, which is crucial for developing robust machine learning models.
### How can I train a YOLO model on the Caltech-256 dataset using Python or CLI?
To train a YOLO model on the Caltech-256 dataset for 100 epochs, you can use the following code snippets. Refer to the model [Training](../../modes/train.md) page for additional options.
!!! Example "Train Example"
=== "Python"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n-cls.pt") # load a pretrained model
# Train the model
results = model.train(data="caltech256", epochs=100, imgsz=416)
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
# Start training from a pretrained *.pt model
yolo detect train data=caltech256 model=yolov8n-cls.pt epochs=100 imgsz=416
```
### What are the most common use cases for the Caltech-256 dataset?
The Caltech-256 dataset is widely used for various object recognition tasks such as:
- Training Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
- Evaluating the performance of Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
- Benchmarking new deep learning algorithms
- Developing object detection models using frameworks like Ultralytics YOLO
Its diversity and comprehensive annotations make it ideal for research and development in machine learning and computer vision.
### How is the Caltech-256 dataset structured and split for training and testing?
The Caltech-256 dataset does not come with a predefined split for training and testing. Users typically create their own splits according to their specific needs. A common approach is to randomly select a subset of images for training and use the remaining images for testing. This flexibility allows users to tailor the dataset to their specific project requirements and experimental setups.
### Why should I use Ultralytics YOLO for training models on the Caltech-256 dataset?
Ultralytics YOLO models offer several advantages for training on the Caltech-256 dataset:
- **High Accuracy**: YOLO models are known for their state-of-the-art performance in object detection tasks.
- **Speed**: They provide real-time inference capabilities, making them suitable for applications requiring quick predictions.
- **Ease of Use**: With Ultralytics HUB, users can train, validate, and deploy models without extensive coding.
- **Pretrained Models**: Starting from pretrained models, like `yolov8n-cls.pt`, can significantly reduce training time and improve model accuracy.
