+# Curation of the famous MNIST Dataset
+
+The curation was done using qualitative analysis of the dataset, following visualization techniques like **PCA** and **UMAP** and score-based categorization of the samples using metrics like **hardness**, **mistakenness**, or **uniqueness**.
+
+The code of the curation can be found on GitHub:  
+👉 https://github.com/Conscht/MNIST_Curation_Repo/tree/main  
+
+This curated version of MNIST introduces an additional **IDK (“I Don’t Know”)** label for digits that are ambiguous, noisy, or of low quality. It is intended for experiments on robust classification, dataset curation, and handling uncertain or hard-to-classify examples.
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Overview
+
+Compared to the original MNIST dataset, this curated version:
+
+- keeps the original digit classes **0–9**
+- adds an **11th class: `IDK`**
+- moves visually ambiguous or questionable digits into the `IDK` class
+
+Questionable digits include:
+
+- distorted or spaghetti-like shapes  
+- digits that are hard even for humans to classify  
+- strong outliers in the embedding space  
+- samples often misclassified by the baseline model  
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 How the Curation Was Done
+
+The curation process combined **qualitative inspection** and **quantitative metrics**:
+
+1. Train a **LeNet-5** classifier on the original MNIST digits.  
+2. Extract **embeddings** from the penultimate layer of the network.  
+3. Visualize these embeddings with **PCA** and **UMAP** in **FiftyOne** to identify clusters, outliers, and ambiguous regions.  
+4. Compute several **FiftyOne Brain metrics**:
+   - `hardness`
+   - `mistakenness`
+   - `uniqueness`
+   - `representativeness`
+5. Use these metrics to surface suspicious samples:
+   - highly mistaken or hard examples  
+   - high-uniqueness outliers  
+   - misclassified samples  
+6. Inspect these subsets inside the **FiftyOne App** and manually decide which samples should be relabeled as **IDK**.
