# MnistDataset Helper class that load data from MNIST dataset: [http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/](http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/) > The MNIST database of handwritten digits, available from this page, has a training set of 60,000 examples, and a test set of 10,000 examples. It is a subset of a larger set available from NIST. The digits have been size-normalized and centered in a fixed-size image. It is a good database for people who want to try learning techniques and pattern recognition methods on real-world data while spending minimal efforts on preprocessing and formatting. ### Constructors Parameters * $imagePath - (string) path to image file * $labelPath - (string) path to label file ``` use Phpml\Dataset\MnistDataset; $trainDataset = new MnistDataset('train-images-idx3-ubyte', 'train-labels-idx1-ubyte'); ``` ### Samples and labels To get samples or labels you can use getters: ``` $dataset->getSamples(); $dataset->getTargets(); ```
