The utils.py file has the functions to generate the negative examples.

The prepare_data.py file downloads the MNIST dataset, generates a dataset of negative images, and saves it as a .pt file that can be loaded directly into the code as a dataset, and then a dataloader. This saves a lot of time compared to generating negative data on the fly.

The main.py file has the Unsupervised_FF class along with the training procedure included inside the main block.
