The Contest
TagMe! is a machine learning programming contest with the objective being to design algorithms for tagging/classifying a collection of images. Given a collection of images, you need to build a system that can categorize them into one of five categories: 'Human Faces', 'Flowers', 'Buildings', 'Cars', or 'Shoes'. Your system will be evaluated based on its accuracy. This is a multi-class classification supervised learning problem, where you will have a training set consisting of images and category labels and your system has to predict the labels correctly. Exciting prizes up for grabs!
Who can participate?
Anybody with basic programming skills and elementary knowledge of machine learning. If you are
new to machine learning, the following material would help you get
