Implementated Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) with Gaussian assumption followed by Bayes rule for classification. Also implemented the same after applying PCA and LDA for dimensionality reduction

Each image is 28 pixels in height and 28 pixels in width, for a total of 784 pixels in total. Each pixel has a single pixel-value associated with it, indicating the lightness or darkness of that pixel, with higher numbers meaning darker. This pixel-value is an integer between 0 and 255. The training and test data sets have 785 columns. The first column consists of the class labels (see above), and represents the article of clothing. The rest of the columns contain the pixel-values of the associated image.

Each training and test example is assigned to one of the following labels:

The virtualenv package is required to create virtual environments. You can install it with pip:

pip install virtualenv

To create a virtual environment, you must specify a path. For example to create one in the local directory called ‘mypython’, type the following:

virtualenv mypython

You can activate the python environment by running the following command:

Mac OS / Linux

source mypython/bin/activate

You should see the name of your virtual environment in brackets on your terminal line e.g. (mypython).

Any python commands you use will now work with your virtual environment

To decativate the virtual environment and use your original Python environment, simply type ‘deactivate’.

deactivate

Once in the virtual environemnet:

• To clone this repo in your virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/adityavaishampayan/CMSC828C-project1.git

• cd to the CMSC828C-project1 folder and then install the requirements file

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the required libraries to run this project

This project required the Fashion_MNIST dataset to run. The data has already be added in this repo.

However to clone the original repository one can use the following command:

git clone git@github.com:zalandoresearch/fashion-mnist.git

Fashion-MNIST is a dataset of Zalando's article images—consisting of a training set of 60,000 examples and a test set of 10,000 examples. Each example is a 28x28 grayscale image, associated with a label from 10 classes. Zalando intends Fashion-MNIST to serve as a direct drop-in replacement for the original MNIST dataset for benchmarking machine learning algorithms. It shares the same image size and structure of training and testing splits.
