For the dogs versus cats competition, there are two datasets; training, with 25,000 images of dogs and cats, 50% each, and testing. For the purposes of this chapter, we only need to download the training dataset. Once you have downloaded it, unpack it somewhere.
The filenames look like the following:
| dog.9993.jpg dog.9994.jpg dog.9995.jpg | cat.10000.jpg cat.10001.jpg cat.10002.jpg |
 |
 |
The label (dog or cat) is encoded into the filename.
As you know, the first thing we always do is to split the data into training and validation ...
