How to turn a numpy array of MNIST to pytorch dataset/data

Question

On my ML class my teacher give us the MNIST data and let us train that using CNN.

The data is in a matlab .mat file: https://file.io/PS0CtiK2aom6

I managed to turn that into a numpy array of (60000, 784)

(60000 train data and each of them is 28x28=784)

Also the label (numbers 0-9) is stored in a (60000, 1) array

Now I need to load it into a torch.utils.data.DataLoader

but all I find on the internet is the dataset from pytorch itself torchvision.datasets.MNIST

and I am not sure if my data has the same shape and structure with pytorch's

Any Ideas? Thanks!

Edit after you shared your dataset, you can use:

import scipy.io
import torch
from torch.utils.data import TensorDataset, DataLoader

def extract_dataset(mnist, name):
    dataset = [(images, np.repeat(int(target[len(name):]), len(images)))
            for target, images in mnist.items()
            if target.startswith(name)]
    X, y = list(zip(*train))
    X = torch.tensor(np.concatenate(X), dtype=torch.uint8)
    y = torch.tensor(np.concatenate(y), dtype=torch.uint8)
    return TensorDataset(X, y)

mnist = scipy.io.loadmat('mnist_all.mat')

train_ds = extract_dataset(mnist, 'train')
test_ds = extract_dataset(mnist, 'test')

train_dl = DataLoader(train_ds, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)
test_dl = DataLoader(test_ds, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)

Output:

# A batch of 32 images of 784 features (28x28) and 32 targets
>>> next(iter(train_dl))
[tensor([[0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0],
         [0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0],
         [0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0],
         ...,
         [0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0],
         [0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0],
         [0, 0, 0,  ..., 0, 0, 0]], dtype=torch.uint8),
 tensor([1, 8, 5, 8, 0, 6, 5, 1, 6, 9, 5, 2, 3, 0, 8, 3, 4, 9, 0, 1, 8, 1, 8, 9,
         2, 6, 3, 8, 5, 4, 2, 2], dtype=torch.uint8)]

Input data:

Old answer

You can use DataLoader with your data:

from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

train_dataloader = DataLoader(train_data, batch_size=64, shuffle=True)

However is not sufficient. Where are your targets?

I used the mat file from here. Full example:

import scipy.io
import torch
from torch.utils.data import TensorDataset, DataLoader

mnist = scipy.io.loadmat('mnist_uint8.mat')

# Extract data from mat file and convert numpy array as tensor
X_train = torch.Tensor(mnist['train_x'])
y_train = torch.Tensor(mnist['train_y'])
X_test = torch.Tensor(mnist['test_x'])
y_test = torch.Tensor(mnist['test_y'])

# Create tensor datasets with features (X) and target (y)
train_ds = TensorDataset(X_train, y_train)
test_ds = TensorDataset(X_test, y_test)

# Then make data loaders
train_dl = DataLoader(train_ds, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)
test_dl = DataLoader(test_ds, batch_size=8, shuffle=True)
