# Dataset Card for FEMNIST |
|
|
|
The FEMNIST dataset is a part of the [LEAF](https://leaf.cmu.edu/) benchmark. |
|
It represents image classification of handwritten digits, lower and uppercase letters, giving 62 unique labels. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Details |
|
|
|
### Dataset Description |
|
|
|
Each sample is comprised of a (28x28) grayscale image, writer_id, hsf_id, and character. |
|
|
|
- **Curated by:** [LEAF](https://leaf.cmu.edu/) |
|
- **License:** BSD 2-Clause License |
|
|
|
### Dataset Sources |
|
|
|
The FEMNIST is a preprocessed (in a way that resembles preprocessing for MNIST) version of [NIST SD 19](https://www.nist.gov/srd/nist-special-database-19). |
|
|
|
## Uses |
|
|
|
This dataset is intended to be used in Federated Learning settings. |
|
|
|
### Direct Use |
|
|
|
We recommend using [Flower Dataset](https://flower.ai/docs/datasets/) (flwr-datasets) and [Flower](https://flower.ai/docs/framework/) (flwr). |
|
|
|
To partition the dataset, do the following. |
|
1. Install the package. |
|
```bash |
|
pip install flwr-datasets[vision] |
|
``` |
|
2. Use the HF Dataset under the hood in Flower Datasets. |
|
```python |
|
from flwr_datasets import FederatedDataset |
|
from flwr_datasets.partitioner import NaturalIdPartitioner |
|
|
|
fds = FederatedDataset( |
|
dataset="flwrlabs/femnist", |
|
partitioners={"train": NaturalIdPartitioner(partition_by="writer_id")} |
|
) |
|
partition = fds.load_partition(partition_id=0) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
|
|
The whole dataset is kept in the train split. If you want to leave out some part of the dataset for centralized evaluation, use Resplitter. (The full example is coming soon here) |
|
Dataset fields: |
|
|
|
* image: grayscale of size (28, 28), PIL Image, |
|
* writer_id: string, unique value per each writer, |
|
* hsf_id: string, corresponds to the way that the data was collected (see more details [here](https://www.nist.gov/srd/nist-special-database-19), |
|
* character: ClassLabel (it means it's int if you access it in the dataset, but you can convert it to the original value by `femnist["train"].features["character"].int2str(value)`. |
|

## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
This dataset was created as a part of the [LEAF](https://leaf.cmu.edu/) benchmark. |
|
We make it available in the HuggingFace Hub to facilitate its seamless use in FlowerDatasets. |
|
|
