Breaking a captcha (based on pictures of humans and non-humans)
This code is intended as a fun project to gain familiarity with the basics of machine learning algorithms. The particular example is the captcha provided on the APS website avoiding automated access to peer-reviewed articles. The authors of the code have no intent in performing bulk-downloads of paywall-blocked data or any related illegal activity.
