The Data

In this challenge you are required to create an AI model that classifies sketch into 220 classes. Inside the train folder we have 220 classes and each class has around 40 to 45 images. All the images are in grayscale format. Inside the test folder we have 1760 images on which you have make predictions.

The final submission must include:

1. output.csv (single file having results for "TEST" directory which contains 1760 images). The first row should correspond to the column names "Image Files" and "Labels".
2. iPython Notebook to be submitted in the "My Submission Section".

Sample Output:
