Using Machine Learning to Replicate Airbnb's Amenity Detection Part 1: Overview

I read an article the other which described how Airbnb uses computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect amenities (household objects) in their listings. I loved it so much I decided to replicate it in my own version as a machine learning project. Over the next six weeks (42 days), I'll be replicating/improving their pipeline and documenting it as I go. This video describes the project overview. As I get further along, there will be more going through each step of the process. Note: I am not affiliated with Airbnb nor are they involved with this series of videos in any way.
