Lab 01 — MLP on Handwritten Digits

2 min

The diagram is the lab contract: any consultation of the test before step G invalidates the final measurement. Every arrow must leave a reproducible trace in the report.

Goal: train a first complete network offline with a clean protocol. Duration: 2 to 3 hours. Script: code/train_mlp_digits.py.

Specification

The load_digits dataset contains 1,797 images 8×8 of digits 0 to 9. Build an MLP, stratify train/validation/test split, choose hyperparameters on validation and use the test set only once.
