Here are some of the ancillary things I used/learnt:
-
Images by web scrapping: https://github.com/hardikvasa/google-images-download
** ran from Windows cmd prompt, no need to call Python prompt, ran without the dollar sign, did pip install
** unless specified, it downloads the pics to the ‘Downloads’ folder -
Image folder structure for Paperscape cloud machine: How to use your own Dataset for Lesson 1
-
Considered using PuTTY to transfer files to Paperscape cloud machine: https://it.cornell.edu/managed-servers/transfer-files-using-putty
** but used Jupyter Notebook in Chrome browser to upload the zipped folder but could not unzip inside the browser
** went back to Paperscape console to unzip -
Change PATH in the Jupyter notebook code from the cats vs dogs example to what ever you chose
** there were couple of other locations where the phrase cats/dogs had to be renamed to your classes -
Password for Paperscape cloud machine could not be copy pasted, I have to type it every time
-
If you cannot access the Jupyter Notebook in the browser then check if your network provider is blocking port 8888
-
If you frequently stop and start Jupyter Notebook then the default port 8888 can become unavailable and Paperspace machine will start opening Jupyter Notebook with subsequent ports like 8889 etc
Thanks
