Inspiration

Many methods have been tested with this training set and test set (see http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/ for more details)

The MNIST-100 dataset is a variation of the original MNIST dataset, consisting of 100 handwritten numbers extracted from the MNIST dataset. Unlike the traditional MNIST dataset, which contains 60,000 training images of digits from 0 to 9, the Modified MNIST-10 dataset focuses on 100 numbers.

Dataset Overview: - Dataset Name: MNIST-100 - Total Number of Images: train: 60000 test: 1000 - Classes: 100 (Numbers from 00 to 99) - Image Size: 28x56 pixels (grayscale)

Data Collection: The MNIST-100 dataset was created by randomly selecting 10 unique digits from the original MNIST dataset. For each selected digit, 10 representative images were extracted, resulting in a total of 100 images. These images were carefully chosen to represent a diverse range of handwriting styles for each digit.

Each image in the dataset is labeled with its corresponding numbers, ranging from 00 to 99, making it suitable for classification tasks. Researchers and practitioners can use this dataset to train and evaluate machine learning algorithms and neural networks for digit recognition and classification.

Please note that the Modified MNIST-100 dataset is not intended to replace the original MNIST dataset but serves as a complementary resource for specific applications requiring a smaller and more focused subset of the MNIST data.

Overall, the MNIST-100 dataset offers a compact and representative collection of 100 handwritten numbers, providing a convenient tool for experimentation and learning in computer vision and pattern recognition.

Fashion-MNIST Dataset (Image Files and CSV Labels)

This dataset contains images of Zalando's article categories, intended for fashion image classification. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for the original MNIST dataset, often used as a benchmark for machine learning algorithms. Fashion-MNIST is slightly more challenging than regular MNIST.

Dataset Structure:

The dataset is organized into the following files and folders:

• train/: This folder contains the training set images. It holds 60,000 grayscale images, each with dimensions 28x28 pixels. The images are in PNG format. The filenames within this folder are not explicitly labeled with the class, so you will need to refer to the train.csv file for the corresponding labels.

• test/: This folder contains the testing set images. It holds 10,000 grayscale images, each with dimensions 28x28 pixels and in PNG format. Similar to the training set, the filenames here are not directly labeled, and the test.csv file provides the corresponding labels.

• train.csv: This CSV (Comma Separated Values) file contains the labels for the images in the train/ folder. Each row in this file corresponds to an image. It typically contains two columns:

  • pixel1, pixel2, ..., pixel784: These columns represent the flattened pixel values of the 28x28 grayscale images. The pixel values are integers ranging from 0 to 255.
  • label: This column contains the corresponding class label (an integer from 0 to 9) for the image. You will need to refer to the class mapping (provided below) to understand the meaning of these numerical labels.

• test.csv: This CSV file contains the labels for the images in the test/ folder, following the same format as train.csv with pixel1 to pixel784 columns and a label column.

Content of the Data:

Each image in the Fashion-MNIST dataset belongs to one of the following 10 classes:

Label	Description
0	T-shirt/top
1	Trouser
2	Pullover
3	Dress
4	Coat
5	Sandal
6	Shirt
7	Sneaker
8	Bag
9	Ankle boot

The images are grayscale, meaning each pixel has a single intensity value.

How to Use This Dataset:

1. Download the entire dataset, including the train/ and test/ folders and the train.csv and test.csv files.
2. The image files in the train/ and test/ folders contain the visual data. You can load these images using libraries that handle image formats (like PIL, OpenCV).
3. The train.csv and test.csv files provide the ground truth labels for the corresponding images. You can read these CSV files using libraries like Pandas. The pixel values in the CSV can be reshaped into a 28x28 matrix to represent the image. The label column provides the class of the fashion item.
4. You can train your image classification models using the train/ images and train.csv labels.
5. Evaluate the performance of your trained models using the test/ images and test.csv labels.

The not-MNIST dataset is a dataset of handwritten digits. It is a challenging dataset that can be used for machine learning and artificial intelligence research. The dataset consists of 100,000 images of handwritten digits. The images are divided into a training set of 60,000 images and a test set of 40,000 images. The images are drawn from a variety of fonts and styles, making them more challenging than the MNIST dataset. The images are 28x28 pixels in size and are grayscale. The dataset is available under the Creative Commons Zero Public Domain Dedication license.

The MNIST-100 dataset is a curated subset of the original MNIST dataset, designed to support computer vision and machine learning research focused on digit recognition and classification. It provides clean, well-labeled samples for rapid experimentation and model benchmarking.

The EMNIST dataset is a set of handwritten character digits derived from the NIST Special Database 19 (https://www.nist.gov/srd/nist-special-database-19) and converted to a 28x28 pixel image format and dataset structure that directly matches the MNIST dataset (http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/). Further information on the dataset contents and conversion process can be found in the paper available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.05373v2

The MNIST dataset has become a standard benchmark for learning, classification and computer vision systems. Contributing to its widespread adoption are the understandable and intuitive nature of the task, its relatively small size and storage requirements and the accessibility and ease-of-use of the database itself. The MNIST database was derived from a larger dataset known as the NIST Special Database 19 which contains digits, uppercase and lowercase handwritten letters. This paper introduces a variant of the full NIST dataset, which we have called Extended MNIST (EMNIST), which follows the same conversion paradigm used to create the MNIST dataset. The result is a set of datasets that constitute a more challenging classification tasks involving letters and digits, and that shares the same image structure and parameters as the original MNIST task, allowing for direct compatibility with all existing classifiers and systems. Benchmark results are presented along with a validation of the conversion process through the comparison of the classification results on converted NIST digits and the MNIST digits.

The database is made available in original MNIST format and Matlab format.

This dataset consists of 60,000 images with dimensions 32x32. The images are the same as the MNIST database of handwritten digits - http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/

CHALLENGE 1. The notebook provided gets a very low test accuracy (45%) on this data, while the training accuracy was 99%. Can you get a higher accuracy? 2. Train models on the original MNIST dataset and test it on this dataset.

This dataset is derived from the Leaf repository (https://github.com/TalwalkarLab/leaf) pre-processing of the Extended MNIST dataset, grouping examples by writer. Details about Leaf were published in "LEAF: A Benchmark for Federated Settings" https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.01097Note: This dataset does not include some additional preprocessing that MNIST includes, such as size-normalization and centering. In the Federated EMNIST data, the value of 1.0 corresponds to the background, and 0.0 corresponds to the color of the digits themselves; this is the inverse of some MNIST representations, e.g. in tensorflow_datasets, where 0 corresponds to the background color, and 255 represents the color of the digit.Data set sizes:only_digits=True: 3,383 users, 10 label classestrain: 341,873 examplestest: 40,832 examplesonly_digits=False: 3,400 users, 62 label classestrain: 671,585 examplestest: 77,483 examplesRather than holding out specific users, each user's examples are split across train and test so that all users have at least one example in train and one example in test.

The MNIST database (Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database) is a large collection of handwritten digits. It is a subset of a larger NIST Special Database 3 (digits written by employees of the United States Census Bureau) and Special Database 1 (digits written by high school students) which contain monochrome images of handwritten digits. The digits have been size-normalized and centered in a fixed-size image. The original black and white (bilevel) images from NIST were size normalized to fit in a 20x20 pixel box while preserving their aspect ratio. The resulting images contain grey levels as a result of the anti-aliasing technique used by the normalization algorithm. the images were centered in a 28x28 image by computing the center of mass of the pixels and translating the image so as to position this point at the center of the 28x28 field.
