COCO - A Definitive Dataset For Deep Learning On Images

In Deep Learning, the biggest challenge is to collect data. We need a massive dataset to train our model. Like in the classification problem, we need many images of the object and their respective labels. Manually collecting the images and labeling them is a labor-intensive task, which worsens when dealing with image segmentation or object detection like problems. There is well-defined dataset COCO which researchers and practitioners generally reference for such purpose.
