<p>You could use the EMNIST package that can be found here: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/emnist/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pypi.org/project/emnist/</a></p>
<p>To load the dataset you first need to decide which of the six different datasets you would like to work with. Details in this paper: <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.05373v1.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.05373v1.pdf</a></p>
<p>Let's say we want to use the byclass dataset:</p>
<pre><code>from emnist import extract_training_samples, extract_test_samples
x_train, y_train = extract_training_samples('byclass')
x_test, y_test = extract_test_samples('byclass')
</code></pre>
