Dataset

Thanks to sites like Petfinder, we can obtain lots of high-quality images with at least rough labels of the dogs’ ages.

Transfer-learning to finer-grained labels

One of the challenges of these coarse-grained labels is that we might want to produce speciic ages for the dogs. The ordinal labels bridge some of this gap, but we can go further.
