You will find a new download_images.ipynb in your nbs folder after you git pull. It shows how to download a dataset for training a model of your own. Many thanks to @lesscomfortable for his help on building this.

Note that this requires the latest fastai, just released today. To get it, go to http://course-v3.fast.ai/ , click ‘returning to work’ in the sidebar, and follow the instructions. Generally, they will be somelike like:

  • Click New->Terminal in Jupyter, then type:
  • conda update conda
  • conda install -c fastai fastai

Note that after you conda update and git pull, you’ll find that there’s been one change to fastai - ConvLearner is now called create_cnn. You’ll need to make that change in any notebooks that you’ve created too.
