### Dataset Summary

This dataset card aims to be a base template for new datasets. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/datasetcard_template.md?plain=1).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

{
  'image': <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=L size=28x28 at 0x7F5EE5B427A0>,
   'label': 1,
}

### Data Fields

image: A PIL.Image.Image object containing the 28x28 image. Note that when accessing the image column: dataset[0]["image"] the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. dataset[0]["image"] should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0]
label: an integer between 0 and 9 representing the digit.

### Data Splits

The data is split into training and test set. The training set contains, as in mnist dataset, 60,000 images and the test set 10,000 images.
