name 'mnist' is not defined

As an AI language model, I cannot determine the context in which this error occurred. However, usually, this error occurs when the code tries to access a variable or object named 'mnist' that has not been defined previously.

If you are working with the MNIST dataset for image recognition tasks, you need to import the dataset from a library like TensorFlow or PyTorch before using it in your code. For example, in TensorFlow, you can import the MNIST dataset as follows:

from tensorflow.keras.datasets import mnist

(train_images, train_labels), (test_images, test_labels) = mnist.load_data()

This will import the MNIST dataset and load it into two sets of images and labels for training and testing. Ensure that you have installed and imported the necessary libraries before using them in your code.
