What do you do when your neural networks are too cool for MNIST? You turn to a more challenging dataset: CIFAR-10.
In the field of image recognition, MNIST is considered an entry point. A tougher benchmark is the CIFAR-10 dataset.[29] CIFAR stands for Canadian Institute For Advanced Research, and 10 is the number of classes in it. A random sample of CIFAR-10 images is shown in ...
