Handwritten Digits Pack

Unified 28×28 grayscale handwritten digit dataset for training classification models (digits 0–9). White background, dark digits, float32 [0, 1].

Composition

Merged from 3 public datasets:

Dataset Train Validation Source
EMNIST Digits 280,000 NIST
HWD-V1 136,920 15,218 Kaggle
Handwritten Digits 86,180 21,540 HF
Total 503,100 36,758

Format

  • train.parquet — 503,100 rows (191.8 MB)
  • validation.parquet — 36,758 rows (11.0 MB)
  • image column: PNG-encoded 28×28 grayscale (struct with bytes + path fields)
  • label column: int32, digits 0–9

Loading

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("leobottaro/handwritten-digits-pack")

Preprocessing Applied

  • EMNIST: IDX binary → transpose (fix orientation) → invert (white bg, dark digit) → float32
  • HWD-V1: 52×52 PNG → LANCZOS resize 28×28 → grayscale → float32. Includes both Standard and Edge Cases
  • Handwritten Digits: RGBA PNG → composite on white background (preserves dark-on-transparent) → grayscale → float32
