What is it?
The EMNIST dataset is a set of handwritten character digits derived from the NIST Special Database 19 (NIST Special Database 19) and converted to a 28x28 pixel image format and dataset structure that directly matches the MNIST dataset (MNIST). Further information on the dataset contents and conversion process can be found in the paper available at arXiv:1702.05373v1.
Formats
The version of the dataset is provided in the binary format as the original MNIST dataset as outlined in MNIST dataset format.
Dataset Summary
- EMNIST MNIST: 70,000 characters. 10 balanced classes.
