State: open | Author: jameschapman19 (NONE)
Labels: name: bug

## Describe the bug
Conversion of MNIST dataset to pytorch fails with bug

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("mnist", split="train")
dataset.set_format('torch')
dataset[0]
print()
```

## Expected results
Expect to see torch tensors image and label

## Actual results

Comments: Hi ! We haven't implemented the conversion from images data to PyTorch tensors yet I think

cc @mariosasko 

So I understand:

set_format() does not properly do the conversion to pytorch tensors from PIL images.

So that someone who stumbles on this can use the package:

```python
dataset = load_dataset("mnist", split="train")
def transform_func(examples):
    examples["image"] = [np.array(img) for img in examples["image"]]
    return examples
dataset = dataset.with_transform(transform_func)
dataset[0]
``` 

This then appears to work with pytorch dataloaders as:
```
dataloader=torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset,batch_size=1)
```

and tensorflow as:
```
dataset=dataset.to_tf_dataset(batch_size=1)
```

Hi! `set_transform`/`with_transform` is indeed the correct solution for the conversion. Improving this part of the API is one of the things I'm working on currently, so stay tuned!
