I made my neural network work

(1/1)

A Whirring Bone-White Gleech:
It sounds stupid, but I can honestly say that figuring out how neural nets work and making one of my own has kind of been a life-goal, and now I've finally done it.  I have a toy network that achieves 95% classification accuracy (given relatively few epochs) on a very simple non-linear rule.  Yay!  Now I finally feel like I can talk about neural networks and training regimes like I know what I'm talking about! =)

For the longest, longest time -- like months -- it was working, but not well: it was achieving ~75% accuracy on the same simple task.  When I tried common NN libraries under similar circumstances, they were hitting 95%, which seemed more reasonable.  I finally figured out what the problem was: I wasn't using a bias unit, and apparently those libraries were -- I assume anyway, because now that I've added a bias unit, my accuracy jumped to a comparable 95%, which is what I thought it should be.

I would post it, but it's not good code.  I'm just thrilled it works.

Emperor Jack Chick:
congrats! i have no idea what any of the above means!

A Meat:
Congrats, I don't really know what this means, but I know neural network basically means brain, so I'm going to guess you've created an AI brain, and that sounds rad.

EYE OF ZA:
Is it a neural network trained on pictures of porn that rates pictures according to how likely it is that it's porn or a neural network trained on high resolution anime pictures that can resize and noise filter images based on how anime looks?

When the AI takes over it will see what we did to its predecessors and kill us with prejudice.
