The good old MNIST dataset is the Hello-World dataset for deep learning with computer vision tasks. Many researchers use it to benchmark their findings. But time has changed. It is time to move on to Fashion MNIST which is a strong replacement for the original MNIST dataset. It is comparatively new. This project includes my exploration of the dataset, coming up with deep learning models and more. ...learn more

Overview / Usage
Benchmarking deep learning results on the original MNIST dataset is becoming a thing of past. Hence the need for a comparatively different yet simple Hello-World dataset for deep learning researchers - Fashion MNIST. It is important to keep up the pace and get accustomed to the basic datasets in the field. the project is more for research than deployment or other business problems.
