Brief
For our inaugural competition, we're working with Save All The Pets, a philanthropic organization in the US with the endgame of moving shelter animals to shelters where they'll be more likely to be adopted.
We know that certain dog breeds are more likely to be adopted versus killed in different animal shelters, and those dogs can be moved to other shelters. However, not all shelter dog breeds are known, so they can't as easily be saved.
The goal of this challenge is to predict a dog's breed given an image of it - you can also use optional features like color, sex, age, and size. You will be given a clean CSV of around 83,000 dog images with breed labels, and some other columns.
After you've trained your model, you'll test it on the images of dogs with unknown breeds, and upload your answers as a CSV.
Let's save some dogs!

Data Breakdown
pet_id: Corresponds to an individual canine, where pet_id acts as the primary identifier. Along with this data, other labels such as breed, color, sex, age, etc are contained within the file: Dog_Breed_trainingdata.csv
This ID links to a specific .jpg, with the same ID as the title, and provides an image of the animal it refers to. Example: pet_id 100100 corresponds to 100100.jpg
breed_id: Corresponds to a specific breed. Example: breed_id 1 corresponds to breed Affenpinscher. These details can be found in the file: Dog_Breed_id_mapping.csv
All submissions must be made in .csv format, and submissions in other formats will not be accepted.
Please ensure your syntax and formatting is correct, as this will affect how our judging algorithm is able to process your submission. Examples are extra lines, rows, columns, etc.
Final submission will have each line containing the: breed_id sorted by pet_id. For example, the first being pet_id = 370923 with the breed_id = 89, the second being pet_id 555110 with breed_id 24, and so on. The file you upload will look something like this:
