Args: root (str): Root directory of dataset where EMNIST/processed/training.pt and EMNIST/processed/test.pt exist. split (str): The dataset has 6 different splits: byclass, bymerge, balanced, letters, digits and mnist. This argument specifies which one to use. train (bool): If True, creates dataset from training.pt, otherwise from test.pt. download (bool): If true, downloads the dataset from the internet and puts it in root directory. If dataset is already downloaded, it is not downloaded again. transform (Callable): A function/transform that takes in an PIL image and returns a transformed version. E.g, transforms.RandomCrop. target_transform (Callable): A function/transform that takes in the target and transforms it. batch_size (int): How many samples per batch to load (the default is 128). shuffle (bool): Set to True to have the data reshuffled at every epoch (the default is False). num_workers (int): How many subprocesses to use for data loading. 0 means that the data will be loaded in the main process (default: 0). cuda (bool): If True, the data loader will copy Tensors into CUDA pinned memory before returning them. Returns: DataLoader: A PyTorch DataLoader with emnist characters.
