This week we hosted a free Kaggle Udacity Dog Breed Classification workshop. The notebook is based on a Kaggle project whose goal is to provide an estimate of the dog’s breed given an image of the dog. In this blog post we’ll recap some highlights from the workshop. Ok, let’s dig in.
First, thanks for voting for your favorite charity!
With the unprecedented circumstances facing our global community, Arrikto is looking for even more ways to contribute. With this in mind, we thought that in lieu of swag we could give workshop attendees the opportunity to vote for their favorite charity and help guide our monthly donation to charitable causes. The charity that won this workshop’s voting was UNHCR. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is a global organization working to save lives, protect rights and build a better future for refugees, internally displaced communities and stateless people. This charity helps ensure that Ukrainians forced to flee their homes are sheltered and safe. We are pleased to be making a donation of $100 to them on behalf of the Kubeflow community. Again, thanks to all of you who attended and voted!

Install MiniKF
In the workshop I showed how MiniKF is the easiest way to get started with Kubeflow on the platform of your choice (AWS or GCP). Want to try it for yourself? Here’s the links:
