I want to create a ML classifier using images just like this example.

I have two classes of images in two different folders. Is there an easier way to import all images from both folders rather than inserting picture by picture?

    $\begingroup$ something like Import[#] & /@ FileNames["folder/*.jpg"] is what you want. Mathematica has about 3 gigabytes of documentation. $\endgroup$

Classify actually supports a nice syntax for this:

Classify[<|"class1" -> Import["class1/*"], "class2" -> Import["class2/*"]|>]

Yes, in order to create your list of images you can use the following piece of code:

Join[
 Thread@Rule[Import["~/Desktop/folder1/*.png"], "Day"],
 Thread@Rule[Import["~/Desktop/folder2/*.png"], "Night"]
 ]

Of course you will need to change the file path and the properties (day/night) appropriately.
