The dateset includes two training files and one test directory namely:

• train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz
• train-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz
• test directory

which contains training images and training labels respectively. The test directory consists of 10,000 28x28 grayscale images and have to be classified into 10 classes.

The final submission must include:

output.csv (single file having results for "test" directory which contains 10,000 images )

For grading, "output.csv" file must be uploaded in the submission section of this challenge.
