fashion-mnist VS pipelines

In this case there's no advantage to using logistic regression on an image other than the novelty. Logistic regression is excellent for feature explainability, but you can't explain anything from an image.

Traditional classification algorithms but not deep learning such as SVMs and Random Forest perform a lot better on MNIST, up to 97% accuracy compared to the 88% from logistic regression in this post.

Compared to NLP, I came to the field of computer vision (CV) pretty late. While at Zalando in 2017, I published a paper on the Fashion-MNIST dataset. This dataset is a drop-in replacement of Yann LeCun's original MNIST dataset from 1990 (a set of simple handwritten digits for benchmarking computer vision algorithms.) The original MNIST dataset was too trivial for many algorithms – shallow learning algorithms such as logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines could easily hit 90% accuracy, leaving little room for deep learning algorithms to shine.

Fashion MNIST: This dataset from Zalando Research contains images of 10 classes consisting of clothing apparel and accessories like ankle boots, bags, coats, dresses, pullovers, sandals, shirts, sneakers, etc. instead of handwritten digits. The images are grayscale just like the original MNIST.

Link to the dataset : Fashion Mnist You dont need to download the dataset manually, they are included as part of pytorch Its better if you use jupyter-notebook as the code in this blog is a step by step process with data visualisation in between for better understanding.

New Google AI research introduces a 2-stage framework that uses recent progress on self-supervised representation learning and classic one-class algorithms. This framework is simple to train and shows SOTA performance on various benchmarks, including CIFAR, f-MNIST, Cat vs. Dog, and CelebA. Following that, they offer a novel representation learning approach for a practical industrial defect detection problem using the same architecture. On the MVTec benchmark, the framework achieves a new state-of-the-art.

About the Dataset 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. We intend Fashion-MNIST to serve as a direct drop-in replacement for the original MNIST dataset for benchmarking machine learning algorithms. It shares the exact image size and structure of training and testing splits. source: https://github.com/zalandoresearch/fashion-mnist

Kubeflow Pipelines comes with a pre-defined KFServing component which can be imported from the GitHub repo and reused across the pipelines without the need to define it every time. KFServing is Kubeflow's solution for "productionizing" your ML models and works with a lot of frameworks like Tensorflow, sci-kit, and PyTorch among others.

You can run the notebook from the dashboard and create the pipeline. Please note, in Kubeflow v1.2, there is an issue causing RBAC: permission denied error while connecting to the pipeline. This will be fixed in v1.3 and you can read more about the issue here. As a workaround, you need to create Istio ServiceRoleBinding and EnvoyFilter to add an identity in the header. Refer this gist for the patch.
