Tinder users have numerous motives for uploading their likeness into the dating application. But adding a facial biometric up to a data that is downloadable for training convolutional neural sites most likely was not top of these list if they opted to swipe.

A person of Kaggle, a platform for machine learning and information technology tournaments that was recently obtained by Google, has uploaded a facial information set he claims is made by exploiting Tinder's API to scrape 40,000 profile pictures from Bay region users for the dating app — 20,000 apiece from pages of each and every gender.

The information set, called People of Tinder, is comprised of six online zip files, with four containing around 10,000 profile pictures each as well as 2 files with test sets of around 500 pictures per sex.
