The [Sonar dataset](https://archive-beta.ics.uci.edu/dataset/151/connectionist+bench+sonar+mines+vs+rocks) from the [UCI ML repository](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets).
Dataset to discriminate between sonar signals bounced off a metal cylinder and those bounced off a roughly cylindrical rock.
