THE MNIST DATABASE of handwritten digits

Authors:

• Yann LeCun, Courant Institute, NYU
• Corinna Cortes, Google Labs, New York
• Christopher J.C. Burges, Microsoft Research, Redmond

Dataset Obtained From: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/

All images were sized 28x28 in the original dataset

The MNIST database of handwritten digits, available from this page, has a training set of 60,000 examples, and a test set of 10,000 examples. It is a subset of a larger set available from NIST. The digits have been size-normalized and centered in a fixed-size image.

It is a good database for people who want to try learning techniques and pattern recognition methods on real-world data while spending minimal efforts on preprocessing and formatting.

Version 1 (original-images_trainSetSplitBy80_20):

• Original, raw images, with the train set split to provide 80% of its images to the training set and 20% of its images to the validation set
• Trained from Roboflow Classification Model's ImageNet training checkpoint

Version 2 (original-images_ModifiedClasses_trainSetSplitBy80_20):

• Original, raw images, with the train set split to provide 80% of its images to the training set and 20% of its images to the validation set
• Modify Classes, a Roboflow preprocessing feature, was employed to change class names from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
• Trained from the Roboflow Classification Model's ImageNet training checkpoint

Version 3 (original-images_Original-MNIST-Splits):

• Original images, with the original splits for MNIST: train (86% of images - 60,000 images) set and test (14% of images - 10,000 images) set only.
• This version was not trained
