Hi there,
\n\nI am about to commence an MSc dissertation on Learning Using Privileged Information. This is where "privileged" information is added to some of the training data to speed up convergence on a good solution (usually on an SVM classifier).
\n\nOne major use of LUPI is to speed up classification of images by adding user comments or user outlines to an image (e.g. drawing a line around a driver). This is described in this paper.
\n\nI know the terms and conditions on Kaggle forbid datasets being used for purposes beyond the confines of the competition. However, I have seen before that some companies (e.g. Rossmann Stores) have been willing to let Kagglers use their datasets for non-commercial project work.
\n\nI would be grateful to know whether this would be possible with this dataset.
\n\nMany thanks,
\n\nAndy

\nLook at here (Academic purposes?).
