mnist-extractor

This crate is a simple utility to download and extract MNIST dataset.
As it is not very optimized, it is not recommended in production but only during testing.

How to use

To use it, do :

extern crate mnist-extractor;
use mnist-extractor::*;

let (test_lbl, test_img, train_lbl, train_img) = get_all();

// use datas the way you want

The returned datas are ndarray::Array2<f64> arrays. Each row of the arrays are either hot_ones encoded labels (10 numbers long) or flat_encoded images (784 numbers long).

If you want to clean the downloaded datas, use :

mnist-extractor::clean_all_extracted();

or

mnist-extractor::();

Contribution

Contributions are welcome, although this crate is really not intended to be used a lot. It is used in the neural network project spitz during its tests.
