In all the tutorials i've seen for tensorflow, they've used the MNIST dataset, i've understood the modelling but how do i load this dataset into tensorflow? https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/image-group/emnist-dataset
The EMNIST dataset uses the same binary format as the original MNIST dataset. Therefore you can take the input pipeline code from any tutorial that uses the original MNIST dataset, and point it at the set of files you get from downloading the EMNIST dataset to train on that dataset.
