Fashion MNIST

Last updated

The Fashion MNIST dataset is a large freely available database of fashion images that is commonly used for training and testing various machine learning systems. [1] [2] Fashion-MNIST was intended to serve as a replacement for the original MNIST database for benchmarking machine learning algorithms, as it shares the same image size, data format and the structure of training and testing splits. [3]

Contents

The dataset contains 60,000 28x28 grayscale images of fashion products from 10 categories from a dataset of Zalando article images, with 6,000 images per category. [1] The training set consists of 60,000 images and the test set consists of 10,000 images. The dataset is commonly included in standard machine learning libraries. [4]

History

The set of images in the Fashion MNIST database was created in 2017 to pose a more challenging classification task than the simple MNIST digits data, which saw performance reaching upwards of 99.7%. [1]

The GitHub repository has collected over 4000 stars and is referred to more than 400 repositories, 1000 commits and 7000 code snippets. [5]

Numerous machine learning algorithms [6] have used the dataset as a benchmark, [7] [8] [9] [10] with the top algorithm [11] achieving 96.91% accuracy in 2020 according to the benchmark rankings website. [12] The dataset was also used as a benchmark in the 2018 Science paper using all optical hardware to classify images at the speed of light. [13] Google, University of Cambridge, IBM Research, Université de Montréal, and Peking University are the repositories most published institutions as of 2021.[ citation needed ]
