Data: Training Dataset has 60K samples, and test dataset has 10K samples. Each sample or image is 28*28 grayscale image. The dataset has 10 classes.
This is a Classification problem. You can import dataset from the following link to replicate the same results and follow along the experiement. We'll use Keras to build a Dense Neural Network to solve this problem. We'll also explore how to use Keras' Sequential, and Functional APIs to build our Neural Network.
Dependencies: : You'll need to install below dependencies to run this project.
- numpy: 1.18.1
- pandas: 1.0.1
- matplotlib: 3.5.3
- sklearn: 0.22.1
- tensorflow
- keras
The code has been tested on Windows system. It should work well on other distributions but has not yet been tested.
