Recap. I take the MNIST data and tweak it a little. I take a 28x28 DCT and arrange in zigzag. If I keep the whole DCT I get very good classification, 96.9% accuracy.

Sharing this because I think its cool. Take the MNIST handwritten digit data set and perform a 28x28 DCT on each image and then throw away everything but 16 bytes. Your human brain can no longer recognize the numbers, but you can still train a neural net to (mostly) recognize them...

I'm looking for work in cybersecurity. Trying to connect with people who have a network for referrals. I am open to joining teams for non-profits, indie news teams that are interested in receiving help figuring out security, and any tech stuff! Would love to get references and testimonials for it.
