Dataset Card for USPS
USPS is a digit dataset automatically scanned from envelopes by the U.S. Postal Service containing a total of 9,298 16×16 pixel grayscale samples.
Dataset Details
The images are centered and normalized. They show a broad range of font styles.
Dataset Sources
- Repository: train set https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/datasets/multiclass/usps.bz2, test set: https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/datasets/multiclass/usps.t.bz2
- Paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/291440
Uses
In order to prepare the dataset for the FL settings, we recommend using Flower Dataset (flwr-datasets) for the dataset download and partitioning and Flower (flwr) for conducting FL experiments.
To partition the dataset, do the following.
- Install the package.
pip install flwr-datasets[vision]
- Use the HF Dataset under the hood in Flower Datasets.
from flwr_datasets import FederatedDataset
from flwr_datasets.partitioner import IidPartitioner
fds = FederatedDataset(
dataset="flwrlabs/usps",
partitioners={"train": IidPartitioner(num_partitions=10)}
)
partition = fds.load_partition(partition_id=0)
