Refreshing memory on PyTorch by implementing digit recognition using the MNIST dataset

Digit Recognition with PyTorch and MNIST

This project focuses on building and training a neural network to recognize handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset within the PyTorch framework. The goal is to refresh my memory on PyTorch basics and understand how to apply it for practical machine learning tasks.
