Handwritten Digit Recognition with LeNet5 Model in PyTorch
A popular demonstration of the capability of deep learning techniques is object recognition in image data. The “hello world” of object recognition for machine learning and deep learning is the MNIST dataset for handwritten digit recognition. In this post, you will discover how to develop a deep learning model to achieve near state-of-the-art performance on the MNIST handwritten digit recognition task in PyTorch. After completing this chapter, you will know:
- How to load the MNIST dataset using torchvision
- How to develop and evaluate a baseline neural network model for the MNIST problem
- How to implement and evaluate a simple Convolutional Neural Network for MNIST
- How to implement a state-of-the-art deep learning model for MNIST
