Open-Source Public Datasets
Curated recommendations from our data scientists for your Al projects
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence applications require significant amounts of data to train. You can search for open datasets to access, modify, reuse, and share, from our recommended resources. Use these publicly available datasets to influence the development of AI and ML applications or if you want a simple dataset to benchmark a solution or compare different algorithms before tackling a real dataset. These open datasets are a great option to consider for access to data that lies outside the scope of your organization.
Dataset Finders
Use Kaggle to find data sets, explore and build models and work with other data scientists and Machine Learning engineers. Explore and analyze a collection of over 50,000 public datasets on everything from bone x-rays to results from boxing bouts.

Computer Vision
Computer vision enables computers to identify and process objects in images and videos in the same way that humans do, by emulating parts of the complexity of the human vision system. Leverage Machine Learning for image applications such as enabling self-driving cars to make sense of their surroundings, facial recognition applications, augmented and mixed reality or automate tasks finding symptoms in x-ray and MRI scans in healthcare.
Build a robust Computer Vision model using a rich collection of Computer Vision datasets.
Accelerate AI development using 1000+ High-quality Open Datasets. Choose from 50+ application scenarios, 30+ annotation types, and 10+ data formats.
Learn More
These datasets include diverse topics from recognizing objects to reconstructing a 3D room, from finding a person in a video to identifying a shirt in a photo. The datasets can be sorted by published date or topic, and users can search with keywords to locate images appropriate to their needs.

Speech Corpora
Recording and transcribing new Speech Corpora to create acoustic models and train Speech Recognition engines can be time consuming and expensive. Use open databases of speech audio files and text transcriptions to quickly and cheaply building transcribed Speech orpora containing utterances from many speakers in a variety of acoustic conditions.
A central place for speech resources, OpenSLR hosts speech and language resources, such as training Corpora for Speech Recognition, and software related to Speech Recognition.
