A review of unusual datasets for your models<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

When starting out in the field of machine learning, data sets are typically used as <\/span>MNIST<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Iris<\/span><\/a>, o <\/span>20 newsgroups<\/span><\/a>, entre otros… Pero hay cientos de datasets raros e interesantes que se pueden encontrar online. En el <\/span>Immune Technology Institute<\/b><\/a> we asked our teachers to create a list of the strangest datasets they have encountered. <\/span>Here we go!<\/b><\/p>\n

Price of marijuana<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is a repository that contains a record of the <\/span>marijuana prices over the years<\/b>, los cuales var\u00edan bastante de un estado a otro. Pero la cuesti\u00f3n aqu\u00ed es c\u00f3mo se han obtenido los datos…<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it may seem like a useless set of data, it can be very relevant in the times we live in, since it <\/span>many countries are considering legalising marijuana.<\/b><\/p>\n

What is the optimal size for a chopstick?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you've never wondered, as usual, what the optimal size of chopsticks is, don't worry, someone has wondered before. A team of researchers evaluated the effects of chopstick length on the eating performance of adults and children. For this reason, they created <\/span>this dataset<\/span><\/a> to find the optimal length of the sticks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They concluded that the process of poking food was significantly affected by the length of the chopsticks. The researchers suggested that families with children should provide chopsticks of <\/span>240 and 180 mm in length<\/b>. Restaurants should provide toothpicks for <\/span>210 mm long<\/b>to find a balance between ergonomics and price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Images of rice grains<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

This dataset<\/span><\/a> contains more than 3500 images of rice grains of two different species. Different properties were extracted from each rice grain, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
