The statistics for FEMNIST seems to be inaccurate?
Opened this issue · 2 comments
On the site https://leaf.cmu.edu/, FEMNIST is said to have 3,550 users and 805,263 samples. However, I ran the provided command
./preprocess.sh -s niid --sf 1.0 -k 0 -t sample
to get the full-sized dataset, and then run ./stats.sh to get the statistics. The outputs are as follows
0 1
20 4
40 11
60 5
80 16
100 66
120 125
140 394
160 1241
180 329
200 47
220 62
240 95
260 107
280 125
300 167
320 168
340 185
360 172
380 149
400 87

Summing up the number of clients, we get 3,597 rather than 3,550 ones. Actually, I've also count the total number of samples in train/ and test/, and got 817,851 rather than 805,263.
Is there anything wrong with my command for data processing, which leads to such inconsistency?
Any update on this? I have run into the same issue. I get 817851 samples both when adding up the numbers provided in the "num_samples" field of the jsons and when doing a count of all the labels provided.
I also used the command provided to get the entire dataset, is it possible there are more samples than specified?
Same here. I also get 817851 samples and 3597 users.
This paper [1] also use the same version.
