Build a simple CNN-based architecture to classify the 10 digits (0-9) of the MNIST dataset.
In this notebook, we will build a simple CNN-based architecture to classify the 10 digits (0-9) of the MNIST dataset. The objective of this notebook is to become familiar with the process of building CNNs in Keras.
We will go through the following steps:
Importing libraries and the dataset
Data preparation: Train-test split, specifying the shape of the input data etc.
Building and understanding the CNN architecture
Fitting and evaluating the model
