QMNIST
The exact pre-processing steps used to construct the MNIST dataset have long been lost. This leaves us with no reliable way to associate its characters with the ID of the writer and little hope to recover the full MNIST testing set that had 60K images but was never released. The official MNIST testing set only contains 10K randomly sampled images and is often considered too small to provide meaningful confidence intervals. The QMNIST dataset was generated from the original data found in the NIST Special Database 19 with the goal to match the MNIST preprocessing as closely as possible. QMNIST is licensed under the BSD-style license.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
All 2 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.
| First row (archive order) | Paper | Code | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine-Grained Image Classification | QMNIST | VGG-5 Accuracy 99.6867 | ProgressiveSpinalNet architecture for FC layers | praveenchopra/ProgressiveSpinalNet | 1 | Compare |
| Image Classification | QMNIST | Deep regularization Accuracy (%) 99.67 | Deep regularization and direct training of the inner... | kernel-enthusiasts/KF_NN2 | 1 | Compare |
Papers archive 2025-07-28
2 shown of 2 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 26. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
| Date | Samples run Syntology | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProgressiveSpinalNet architecture for FC layers | 1 | 1 | 21 Mar 2021 | not harvested |
| Deep regularization and direct training of the inner layers of Neural Networks with Kernel Flows | 1 | 1 | 19 Feb 2020 | not harvested |
