Decompressing Data

This repository contains all the images in two compressed files (one with 60000 training images) and (one with 10000 validation images). The repo also contains two files with the labels for these images. They should be decompressed and saved as .png files. The data_loader module can accomplish this. Simply uncomment the appropriate code in main.py
