HASYv2 dataset

What is HASYv2 Dataset?

HASYv2 Dataset is a dataset of single symbols (similar to MNIST). There are 168233 instances of 369 classes in HASY. It also contains two challenges: a classification challenge with 10 pre-defined folds for 10-fold cross-validation.

More than 150,000 handwritten symbols are contained in HASY. Similar to MNIST, HASY (the previous iteration of the dataset) is of very low resolution. Unlike MNIST, the HASYv2 dataset contains 369 classes, including Arabic numerals and Latin characters. Lastly, while MNIST is in grayscale, the HASYv2 dataset is in black and white.

How to use HASYv2 Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on HASYv2 dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line data loader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)
Train a model on HASYv2 dataset with TensorFlow in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
