Novel Class Discovery

The CIFAR-100 dataset (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, 100 classes) is a subset of the Tiny Images dataset and consists of 60000 32x32 color images. The 100 classes in the CIFAR-100 are grouped into 20 superclasses. There are 600 images per class. Each image comes with a "fine" label (the class to which it belongs) and a "coarse" label (the superclass to which it belongs). There are 500 training images and 100 testing images per class. The criteria for deciding whether an image belongs to a class were as follows: * The class name should be high on the list of likely answers to the question “What is in this picture?” * The image should be photo-realistic. Labelers were instructed to reject line drawings. * The image should contain only one prominent instance of the object to which the class refers. * The object may be partially occluded or seen from an unusual viewpoint as long as its identity is still clear to the labeler.

Street View House Numbers (SVHN) is a digit classification benchmark dataset that contains 600,000 32×32 RGB images of printed digits (from 0 to 9) cropped from pictures of house number plates. The cropped images are centered in the digit of interest, but nearby digits and other distractors are kept in the image. SVHN has three sets: training, testing sets and an extra set with 530,000 images that are less difficult and can be used for helping with the training process.
