How to use datasets.fetch_mldata() in sklearn?

Question

I am trying to run the following code for a brief machine learning algorithm:

import re
import argparse
import csv
from collections import Counter
from sklea         


        

Answer 1

I downloaded the dataset from this link

https://github.com/amplab/datascience-sp14/blob/master/lab7/mldata/mnist-original.mat

then I typed these lines

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_mldata
mnist = fetch_mldata('MNIST original', transpose_data=True, data_home='files')

*** the path is (your working directory)/files/mldata/mnist-original.mat

I hope you get it , it worked well for me
