Converts a Federated EMNIST dataset into an Infinite Federated EMNIST set.

tff.simulation.datasets.emnist.get_infinite(
    emnist_client_data, num_pseudo_clients
)

Infinite Federated EMNIST expands each writer from the EMNIST dataset into some number of pseudo-clients each of whose characters are the same but apply a fixed random affine transformation to the original user's characters. The distribution over affine transformation is approximately equivalent to the one described at https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~tijmen/affNIST/ It applies the following transformations in this order:

1. A random rotation chosen uniformly between -20 and 20 degrees.
2. A random shearing adding between -0.2 to 0.2 of the x coordinate to the y coordinate (after centering).
3. A random scaling between 0.8 and 1.25 (sampled log uniformly).
4. A random translation between -5 and 5 pixels in both the x and y axes.
