This problem can be approached as a classification or regression problem, eitherway the results will be evaluated by fitting a normal distriution with the mean and standard deviation of the votes for each image:
Each prediction is evaluated using the following formula,
getting an error value between 0 (correct) and 1 (far from age). Not predicted images are evaluated with 1.
