Machine Learning volunteer: How do I start to help classify objects?

• by scottz1

  I'm a software developer. Is there a tutorial that explains (a) where to download a dataset that needs to be classified; and (b) basic algorithm that could be used to classify objects in the set?

  I sounds like you need a scientist for this. Meanwhile you can practice with data from SDSS, which is available to anyone.
