78% MNIST accuracy using GZIP in under 10 lines of code
For a comparison with others techniques:<p>Linear SVC (best performance): 92 %<p>SVC rbf (best performance): 96.4 %<p>SVC poly (best performance): 94.5 %<p>Logistic regression (prev assignment): 89 %<p>Naive Bayes (prev assignment): 81 %<p>From this blog page: <a href="https://dmkothari.github.io/Machine-Learning-Projects/SVM_with_MNIST.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://dmkothari.github.io/Machine-Learning-Projects/SVM_wi...</a><p>Also it seems from reading online articles that people are able to obtain much better results just by using K-NN, so I imagine that the author just made his job harder by using gzip but I could be wrong about this.
