Loading the data

As usual, first we add some magic to display images inline in the Jupyter:

%matplotlib inline 

We're using Pandas to handle our data:

import pandas 

Please, visit the Kaggle site and download the dataset: https://www.kaggle.com/c/challenges-in-representation-learning-facial-expression-recognition-challenge

Load the dataset into the memory:

data = pandas.read_csv("fer2013/fer2013.csv") 

Dataset consists of gray scale face photos encoded as pixel intensities. 48 x 48 gives 2304 pixels for each. Every image is marked according to the emotion on the face.

data.head()
