How should I collect data for an “identifier” rather than classifier?












0












$begingroup$


I'm trying to build a CNN to identify whether or not a picture contains a lion. One of my classes would obviously be filled with pictures of lions, and pictures that have lions.



What about the data I put in my not_lion class? Should I fill it with images of random things (for example, take a few images from each class in ImageNet)? Should I put in pictures of things similar to lions, like tigers, so the network better learns what a lion actually is?



My idea is to make 50% of the not_lion class pictures of tigers, pumas, etc, and 50% random stuff - I think that this would make the network learn what a lion actually is, and also ensure the network doesn't classify a laptop as a lion.

          It depends on the use you are giving. The $not.lion$ class should contain sufficient data of different things, but also should contain tigers, cats, african landscapes without lions, etc.



          Your idea of 50-50 is good.



          Add this: The weights $w$ could help you define where your model should focus: Lesser weights when there is something easily distinguishable from a lion like a computer, but larger weights when there is an african landscape.
