Let me know which custom classes you are training your custom detector on! As always comment if you run into any issues. Cheers :)

Hands down the most concise and practical YOLO tutorial I've seen anywhere!

This is exciting, I was finally able to use your tutorial to train and test a working detector! you are making machine learning accessible to someone without a background in it, and I appreciate that. I only trained a small model (I did a beer detector lol), but this will be a great foundation for a larger paper I'm working on for my undergraduate final project. Thanks again!

One of the most useful and comprehensive videos I have watched in a long time. A lot of videos leave out important detail. Thank you.

You teach better than paid courses which I've been taking for a couple of months. Please keep up the good work, thank you very much, you're teaching me a lot!

You are a life saviour! I have a senior project and had to train a model on custom data, your notebook and explanation literally saved me! Fr! I learned from you more than 3 college courses of ai, thank you so so much

I need to thank you for your job, it's obvious that this didn't worked everything as expected and I ended up solving many problems all along the training, but that's how we make science, discovering and understanding; Of course that without you it would be a LOT harder, thank you, I finally trained my first model!

amazing tutorial dude! You smashed DEEPLEARNING into a piece of cake!

wow!! such value in every video! huge fan of your page: )

[brandonchung]

I just saw that this video was posted. I was literally following your tutorials over the last few days to build a license plate detector for my University Major Project. You may have just saved my life, I'll be watching this video later

[akashnag]

Thanks a lot. Been stuck at this for last few days. Great video. The backup part is awesome.
