Fashion-MNIST

Introduced by Han Xiao et al. in Fashion-MNIST: a Novel Image Dataset for Benchmarking Machine Learning Algorithms1 Jan 2017 archive 2025-07-28

Fashion-MNIST is a dataset comprising of 28×28 grayscale images of 70,000 fashion products from 10 categories, with 7,000 images per category. The training set has 60,000 images and the test set has 10,000 images. Fashion-MNIST shares the same image size, data format and the structure of training and testing splits with the original MNIST.

30 shown of 59 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 3,202. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
