    The exact preprocessing steps used to construct the MNIST datasethave long been lost. This leaves us with no reliable way to associate its characters with the ID of the writer and little hope to recover the full MNIST testing set that had 60K images but was never released. The official MNIST testing set only contains 10K randomly sampled images and is often considered too small to provide meaninful confidence intervals.

    The QMNISTdataset was generated from the original data found in the NIST Special Database 19with the goal to match the MNIST preprocessing as closely as possible.

    Using QMNIST

    We describe below how to use QMNIST in order of increasing complexity.

    Update - The Pytorch QMNIST loader described in section 2.4 below is now included in torchvision.

    Using the QMNIST extended testing set

    The simplest way to use the QMNIST extended testing set is to download the two following files. These gzipped files have the same format as the standard MNIST data filesbut contain the 60000 testing examples. The first 10000 examples are the QMNIST reconstruction of the standard MNIST testing digits. The following 50000 examples are the reconstruction of the lost MNIST testing digits.

    FilenameFormatDescription
    qmnist-test-images-idx3-ubyte.gz60000x28x28testing images
    qmnist-test-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz60000testing labels

    Using the QMNIST extended labels

    The official NIST training data (series hsf0 to hsf3, writers 0 to 2099) was written by NIST employees. The official testing data (series hsf4, writers 2100 to 2599) was written by high-school students and is considered to be substantially more challenging. Since machine learning works better when training and testing data follow the same distribution, the creators of the MNIST dataset decided to distribute writers from both series into their training and testing sets. The QMNIST extended labels trace each training or testing digit to its source in the NIST Special Database 19. Since the QMNIST training set and the first 10000 examples of the QMNIST testing set exactly match the MNIST training and testing digits, this information can also be used for the standard MNIST dataset. The extended labels are found in the following files.

    FilenameFormatDescription
    qmnist-train-labels-idx2-int.gz60000x8extended training labels
    qmnist-train-labels.tsv.gz60000x8same, tab separated file
    qmnist-test-labels-idx2-int.gz60000x8extended testing labels
    qmnist-test-labels.tsv.gz60000x8same, tab separated file

    The format of these gzipped files is very simlar to the format of the standard MNIST label files. However, instead of being a one-dimensional tensor of unsigned bytes (idx1-ubyte), the label tensor is a two-dimensional tensor of integers (idx2-int) with 8 columns:

    ColumnDescriptionRange
    0Character class0 to 9
    1NIST HSF series0, 1, or 4
    2NIST writer ID0-610 and 2100-2599
    3Digit index for this writer0 to 149
    4NIST class code30-39
    5Global NIST digit index0 to 281769
    6Duplicate0
    7Unused0

    The binary files idx2-int encode this information as a sequence of big-endian 32 bit integers

    OffsetTypeValueDescription
    032 bit integer0x0c02(3074)magic number
    432 bit integer60000number of rows
    832 bit integer8number of columns
    12..32 bit integers...data in row major order

    Due to popular demand, we also provide the same information as TSV files.

    The QMNIST data files

    The QMNIST distribution provides in fact the following files:

    FilenameFormatDescription
    qmnist-train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz60000x28x28training images
    qmnist-train-labels-idx2-int.gz60000x8extended training labels
    qmnist-train-labels.tsv.gz60000x8same, tab separated file
    qmnist-test-images-idx3-ubyte.gz60000x28x28testing images
    qmnist-test-labels-idx2-int.gz60000x8extended testing labels
    qmnist-test-labels.tsv.gz60000x8same, tab separated file
    xnist-images-idx3-ubyte.xz402953x28x28NIST digits images
    xnist-labels-idx2-int.xz402953x8NIST digits extended labels
    xnist-labels.tsv.xz402953x8same, tab separated file

    Files with the.gz suffix are gzipped and can be decompressed with the standard commmand gunzip. Files with the .xz suffix are LZMA compressed and can be decompressed using the standard commandunxz.

    The QMNIST training examples match the MNIST training example one-by-one and in the same order. The first 10000 QMNIST testing examples match the MNIST testing examples one-by-one and in the same order. The xnist-* data files provide preprocessed images and extended labels for all digits appearing in the NIST Special Database 19in partition and writer order. Column 5 of the extended labels give the index of each digit in this file. We found three duplicate digits in the NIST dataset. Column 6 of the extended labels then contain the index of the digit for which this digit is a duplicate. Since duplicate digits have been eliminated from the QMNIST/MNIST training set and testing set, this never happens in the qmnist-* extended label files.

    The Pytorch QMNIST loader

    Update - The Pytorch QMNIST loader described here is now included in torchvision.

    File qmnist.py contains a QMNIST data loader for the popular Pytorchplatform. It either loads the QMNIST data files provided in the same directory as the filepytorch.py or downloads them from the web when passing the option download=True. This data loader is compatible with the standard Pytorch MNIST data loader and also provided additional features whose documentation is best found in the comments located inside pytorch.py.

    Here are a couple examples:

    from qmnist import QMNIST
    
    # the qmnist training set, download from the web if not found
    qtrain = QMNIST('_qmnist', train=True, download=True)
    
    # the qmnist testing set, do not download.
    qtest = QMNIST('_qmnist', train=False)
    
    # the first 10k of the qmnist testing set with extended labels
    # (targets are a torch vector of 8 integers)
    qtest10k = QMNIST('_qmnist', what='test10k', compat=False, download='True')
    
    # all the NIST digits with extended labels
    qall = QMNIST('_qmnist', what='nist', compat=False)
