quickdraw-dataset

This seems to be based on Google's QuickDraw datasets. 50 million samples are available in an open dataset, https://github.com/googlecreativelab/quickdraw-dataset

Many people here have pointed out that the data is available -- https://github.com/googlecreativelab/quickdraw-dataset I toyed with it some time ago and was impressed to see that -- in the raw data set -- each drawing is a time-series of strokes i.e. you get a person's drawing (of a penguin, the Mona Lisa, etc.) after 0.1 second of drawing, after 0.2 seconds, etc. I made and (shameless plug!) sell giant algorithmically generated posters which illustrate and play with this idea: each group of 8 rows shows doodles after a decreasing number of seconds. It's fascinating to see how someone's drawing of a "koala" is pretty much set for "success" after a few strokes, while other drawings don't ever really improve with time... or how universal and "well-defined" are drawings of matchsticks, unlike those of kangaroos. https://gumroad.com/l/quickdr

As a few other other have pointed out, the data from this game is open-source and accessible in number of ways [1]. For an introductory exercise to deep learning for image classification, it's a great alternative (or follow-up) to the classic MNIST dataset [2], which serves as a common "Hello, world" for image-based ML. We trained and deployed such a model for a demo of our mobile ML tool [3][4]. Feel free to ping me if you're interested, would love to chat.

This project is still using crowd-sourced sketches though. It's automating the object detection and localization, then placing a sketch of that object in that location, selected at random from the Google QuickDraw dataset. https://github.com/googlecreativelab/quickdraw-dataset

These are not "open" in the sense of being free/libre to use. Many of these data sets have Non-Commercial licenses attached to them. At least some of the datasets look to be open in the sense of free/libre to use (e.g. [1], [2]) while others are not (e.g. [3]). As with many of these resources, there is no option to filter on license. [1] https://github.com/googlecreativelab/quickdraw-dataset/blob/...
