conduit package:mnist-idx-conduit

Streaming (de)serialization and encode-decode functions for the IDX format used in the MNIST handwritten digit recognition dataset [1]. Both sparse and dense decoders are provided. In either case, the range of the data is the same as the raw data (one unsigned byte per pixel).

conduit utilities for MNIST IDX files Conduit decoders for MNIST IDX data files, as described in http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/ . The IDX format is a low-level binary representation for storing general vector, image or tensor data. Here the parsers are specialized to the MNIST dataset, which stores scans of handwritten digits and is a classic benchmark for text classification.
