Week 3: COCO Dataset

Reading

Browse the COCO dataset website and read the paper.

Programming

You can do this week's programming assignment on your own computer, or on the DSMLP cluster. The advantage of using the cluster is that the COCO data set has already been downloaded to it.

Download the COCO API and get the Python API to work (no need to deal with Matlab or Lua).

Run the demo at: cocoapi/PythonAPI/pycocoDemo.ipynb

For your Week 3 Participation submission, describe the demo in a few sentences, and report on a few obstacles you encountered in getting the demo to work.
