[mlpack] dataset for cnn

[Shangtong Zhang]

Hi,


After implementing convolutional connection and pooling connection,
I want to do some tests to proof that my cnn does work.
But I meet some problem.
I build a small cnn and a toy input data and compare the output of the gradient and delta for each layer
with the value I calculate manually.
The cnn’s behavior satisfies my expectation, in terms of numerical value.
Then I want to test on real data. I choose MNIST dataset and LeNet1.
But MNIST is too large, it has 60000 train data and 10000 test data.
And the network LeNet1 is also too complicate.
My cnn doesn’t work in this test.
When training, the accuracy always stay unchanged and it’s very low.
After thousands of iterations, my cnn tend to output the same value no matter how input varies.
So I want to debug my cnn in a small dataset.
Can anyone recommend me some small dataset for cnn?
It’s better if the data is 2-dim.


Thanks.
