    "1672496": "Hey all!\n\nI have created 3 different data sets for this competition. I have taken the original images and scaled them down to 3 different resolutions `(128 x 128, 256 x 256 & 384 x 384)`. I wanted to provide these data sets to help anyone get started on their journey here. From previous competitions we have seen that higher resolutions generally have better model performance but these provide a great starting point. \n\nWe can build our models starting at the `128 x 128` resolution. This can help iterate on ideas more quickly and also help us check our pipeline for bugs. Once we are confident our models are performing as expected at lower resolutions we can crank up the image sizes and continue experimenting. I suspect the resolutions for this competition might get fairly high (based on some of the image resolutions I saw in the original data set).\n\nThese datasets are also a lot smaller in scale compared to the original dataset which should make it easier to download locally or even use in a Kaggle kernel. Please let me know if you have any feedback ✨\n\nHere are the dataset links: \n1. (128 x 128 dataset) https://www.kaggle.com/rdizzl3/jpeg-happywhale-128x128\n2. (256 x 256 dataset) https://www.kaggle.com/rdizzl3/jpeg-happywhale-256x256\n3. (384 x 384 dataset) https://www.kaggle.com/rdizzl3/jpeg-happywhale-384x384\n\nHere is a very simple notebook as well that shows how to use the 128 x 128 image data. It loads in the image files and then shows that our image shape is `(128, 128, 3)` (which is what we want) for a single image and then plots the single image as well.\n\nhttps://www.kaggle.com/rdizzl3/happywhale-128-x-128-dataset-pilot",
