small example of handwritten numbers as they are in the MNIST database

The MNIST database (Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database) is a freely accessible database with handwritten numbers. The MNIST database consists of 60,000 examples as training data sets and 10,000 test data sets. MNIST database is used to train the convolutional neural network , i.e. machine learning or artificial intelligence in the broader sense . An image database based on the idea of ​​the MNIST database is the Fashion-MNIST from Zalando, also consisting of 60,000 examples as training data sets and 10,000 test data sets. From François Chollet a Keras- Main developer, MNIST is no longer seen as a relevant benchmark, but MNIST databases are often used as examples for beginners.
