### TRAIN
ds_train = ds_train.map(
normalize_img, num_parallel_calls=tf.data.AUTOTUNE)
ds_train = ds_train.cache()

### TEST
ds_test = ds_test.map(
normalize_img, num_parallel_calls=tf.data.AUTOTUNE)
ds_test = ds_test.batch(128)
ds_test = ds_test.cache()
ds_test = ds_test.prefetch(tf.data.AUTOTUNE)
## The model
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28, 28)),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(128, activation='relu'),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(10)
])
model.compile(
optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(0.001),
loss=tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True),
metrics=[tf.keras.metrics.SparseCategoricalAccuracy()],
)
model.fit(
ds_train,
epochs=60,
validation_data=ds_test,
)
