A review outside the common datasets for Machine Learning<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you begin in the Machine Learning field, you usually use the common datasets such as MNIST, Iris, the 20 newsgroups, ... But there are hundreds of rare and interesting datasets that can be found online. At Immune Technology Institute we have asked our teachers to create a list of the most strange datasets they have found. Here we go!<\/p>\n

Price of Weed<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is a repository which contains a registry of the historical marijuana prices, which shows significant differentiation at the state level in prices. The question here is how the data has been collected?<\/p>\n

Although it may seem a useless dataset, it may be very relevant in the times we live in, as many countries are considering legalising marijuana.<\/p>\n

If you have never asked yourself, as is normal, what is the optimal length of chopsticks, no worries, someone has asked this question before. A researcher team tried to evaluate the effects of the length of the chopsticks on the food-serving performance of adults and children. For this reason, they created this dataset for finding the optimal length of chopsticks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They concluded that the food-pinching performance was considerably affected by the length of the chopsticks. The researchers suggested that families with children should provide both 240 and 180 mm long chopsticks. In addition, restaurants could provide 210 mm long chopsticks, considering the trade-offs between ergonomics and cost.<\/p>\n

Rice Images<\/span><\/h3>\n

A dataset which contains more than of 3500 rice grain's images of 2 different species. Different properties were extracted from each grain of rice, such as:<\/p>\n
