Context Famous extended MNIST dataset. The original dataset is available at https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/image-group/emnist-dataset. This dataset was "re-created" to provide the images in JPEG format for individuals who might want to manipulate the images without having to convert them from their original IDX3 format. Original Authors: Gregory Cohen, Saeed Afshar, Jonathan Tapson, and Andre van Schaik Content Contains 28x28 grayscale images of hand-written characters, as well as a CSV file with providing each image's path and respective label. The characters are grouped in directories with the same name as their label.
