can i install fashion mnist on older version of tensorflow?

Question

I'm working in tensorflow 1.4.0 and I want to use fashion_mnist datasets. I know that this version does not have this datasets, but there is a way to have this?

Answer 1

I've found the solution here: Fashion-MNIST

You can download the data that you find in the link above and placed it in data/fashion.

from tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist import input_data
data = input_data.read_data_sets('data/fashion')

data.train.next_batch(BATCH_SIZE)

Or passing in a source url to the read_data_sets:

data = input_data.read_data_sets('data/fashion', source_url='http://fashion-mnist.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/')
