 # AlphaNum Dataset
 
 ## Dataset Summary
-The AlphaNum dataset, curated by Louis Rädisch, is a comprehensive collection of grayscale, handwritten characters and digits, each with dimensions of 28x28 pixels. The primary aim of this dataset is to aid Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks. The dataset encompasses labels ranging from 0-35, wherein labels 0-25 correspond to the English alphabets (A-Z) and labels 26-35 correspond to the digits (0-9). Interestingly, the images derived from the MNIST dataset have been color inverted to maintain consistency with the rest of the data.
+The AlphaNum dataset, curated by Louis Rädisch, is a comprehensive collection of grayscale, handwritten characters and digits, each with dimensions of 28x28 pixels. The primary aim of this dataset is to aid Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks. The dataset encompasses labels ranging from 33 to 126, and 999 representing the ASCII characters from '!' to '~', and 'null' respectively. The 'null' category comprises images with normally distributed light pixels placed randomly.

+Images derived from the MNIST dataset have been color inverted to maintain consistency with the rest of the data. Vision Transformer Models have been fine-tuned to harmonize the data from diverse sources, enhancing the dataset's accuracy. For instance, the 'A-Z handwritten alphabets' dataset originally did not differentiate between upper and lower case letters, an issue rectified in this new compilation.
