MNIST

Usage

Train:

cd <Repository Root>/MNIST/
python3 main.py --arch Bin_LeNet
python3 main.py --arch LeNet

Evaluate:

cd <Repository Root>/MNIST/
python3 main.py --arch Bin_LeNet --evaluate --pretrained ./models/Bin_LeNet.best.pth # --no_cuda (Use CPU)
python3 main.py --arch LeNet --evaluate --pretrained ./models/LeNet.best.pth # --no_cuda (Use CPU)

Result

Network	Accuracy	Size
LeNet	99.50%	1.7 MB
Bin_LeNet	99.45%	102 KB
