# MNIST Examples for GGML

These are simple examples of how to use GGML for inferencing.
The first example uses convolutional neural network (CNN), the second one uses fully connected neural network.

## Building the examples

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml
cd ggml
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4 mnist-cnn mnist
```

## MNIST with CNN

This implementation achieves ~99% accuracy on the MNIST test set.

### Training the model

Use the `mnist-cnn.py` script to train the model and convert it to GGUF format:

```
$ python3 ../examples/mnist/mnist-cnn.py train mnist-cnn-model
...
Keras model saved to 'mnist-cnn-model'
```

Convert the model to GGUF format:

```
$ python3 ../examples/mnist/mnist-cnn.py convert mnist-cnn-model
...
Model converted and saved to 'mnist-cnn-model.gguf'
```

### Running the example

```bash
$ ./bin/mnist-cnn mnist-cnn-model.gguf ../examples/mnist/models/mnist/t10k-images.idx3-ubyte
main: loaded model in     5.17 ms

## MNIST with fully connected network

A fully connected layer + relu, followed by a fully connected layer + softmax.

### Training the Model

A Google Colab notebook for training a simple two-layer network to recognize digits is located here. You can
use this to save a pytorch model to be converted to ggml format.

[Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/12n_8VNJnolBnX5dVS0HNWubnOjyEaFSb?usp=sharing)

GGML "format" is whatever you choose for efficient loading. In our case, we just save the hyperparameters used
plus the model weights and biases. Run convert-h5-to-ggml.py to convert your pytorch model. The output format is:

- magic constant (int32)
- repeated list of tensors
- number of dimensions of tensor (int32)
- tensor dimension (int32 repeated)
- values of tensor (int32)

Run ```convert-h5-to-ggml.py mnist_model.state_dict``` where `mnist_model.state_dict` is the saved pytorch model from the Google Colab. For
quickstart, it is included in the mnist/models directory.

```bash
mkdir -p models/mnist
python3 ../examples/mnist/convert-h5-to-ggml.py ../examples/mnist/models/mnist/mnist_model.state_dict
```

### Running the example

```bash
./bin/mnist ./models/mnist/ggml-model-f32.bin ../examples/mnist/models/mnist/t10k-images.idx3-ubyte
```

## Web demo

The example can be compiled with Emscripten like this:

```bash
cd examples/mnist
emcc -I../../include -I../../include/ggml -I../../examples ../../src/ggml.c main.cpp -o web/mnist.js -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS='["_wasm_eval","_wasm_random_digit","_malloc","_free"]' -s EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='["ccall"]' -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 --preload-file models/mnist
```
