Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a dataset of images; extract feature data from the images; optimize a number of clusters into which the images are classified based on the feature data; for each cluster, optimize a number of subclusters into which the images in that cluster are classified; determine a metric indicating a bias of the dataset toward at least one of the clusters or subclusters based on the number of clusters, the numbers of subclusters, distances between the respective clusters, and distances between the respective subclusters; and after determining the metric, train a machine-learning program using a training set constructed from the clusters and the subclusters.
