I have written a Neural Network Program. It works for Logic Gates, but when I try to use it for recognizing handwritten digits - it simply does not learn.

Please find the code below:

typedef struct SingleNeuron

{

    double                  outputValue;

    std::vector<double>     weight;

    std::vector<double>     deltaWeight;

    double                  gradient;

    double                  sum;

}SingleNeuron;

Then I initialize the net. I set weights to be a random value between -0.5 to +0.5, sum to 0, deltaWeight to 0

Then comes the FeedForward:

for (unsigned i = 0; i < inputValues.size(); ++i)

{

    neuralNet[0][i].outputValue = inputValues[i];

    neuralNet[0][i].sum = 0.0;

    //  std::cout << "o/p Val = " << neuralNet[0][i].outputValue << std::endl;

}

for (unsigned i = 1; i < neuralNet.size(); ++i)

{

    std::vector<SingleNeuron> prevLayerNeurons = neuralNet[i - 1];

    unsigned j = 0;

    double thisNeuronOPVal = 0;

    //  std::cout << std::endl;

    for (j = 0; j < neuralNet[i].size() - 1; ++j)

    {

        double sum = 0;

        for (unsigned k = 0; k < prevLayerNeurons.size(); ++k)

        {

            sum += prevLayerNeurons[k].outputValue * prevLayerNeurons[k].weight[j];

        }

        neuralNet[i][j].sum = sum;

        neuralNet[i][j].outputValue = TransferFunction(sum);

        //      std::cout << neuralNet[i][j].outputValue << "\t";

    }

    //      std::cout << std::endl;

}

My transfer function and its derivative is mentioned at the end.

After this I try to back-propagate using:

After looking at the results you might feel this guy is simply stuck into local minima, but please wait and read through:

Input = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.0910903, 0.105674, 0.064575, 0.0864824, 0.128682, 0.0878434, 0.0946296, 0.154405, 0.0678767, 0.0666924

Input = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Output = 0.0916106, 0.105958, 0.0655508, 0.086579, 0.126461, 0.0884082, 0.110953, 0.163343, 0.0689315, 0.0675822

Input = [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.105344, 0.105021, 0.0659517, 0.0858077, 0.123104, 0.0884107, 0.116917, 0.161911, 0.0693426, 0.0675156

Input = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = , 0.107113, 0.101838, 0.0641632, 0.0967766, 0.117149, 0.085271, 0.11469, 0.153649, 0.0672772, 0.0652416

Above is the output of epoch #996, #997,#998 and #999

So simply the network is not learning. For this e.g. I have used ALPHA = 0.4, ETA = 0.7, 10 hidden layers each of 100 neurons and average is over 10 epochs. If you are worried about Learning Rate being 0.4 or so many hidden layers I have already tried their variations. For e.g. for learning rate being 0.1 and 4 hidden layers - each of 16

Input = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.0883238, 0.0983253, 0.0613749, 0.0809751, 0.124972, 0.0897194, 0.0911235, 0.179984, 0.0681346, 0.0660039

Input = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.0868767, 0.0966924, 0.0612488, 0.0798343, 0.120353, 0.0882381, 0.111925, 0.169309, 0.0676711, 0.0656819

Input = [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.105252, 0.0943837, 0.0604416, 0.0781779, 0.116231, 0.0858496, 0.108437, 0.1588, 0.0663156, 0.0645477

Input = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]          

Output = 0.102023, 0.0914957, 0.059178, 0.09339, 0.111851, 0.0842454, 0.104834, 0.149892, 0.0651799, 0.063558

I am so damn sure that I have missed something. I am not able to figure it out. I have read Tom Mitchel's algorithm so many times, but I don't know what is wrong. Whatever example I solve by hand - works! (Please don't ask me to solve MNIST data images by hand ;) ) I do not know where to change the code, what to do.. please help out..

You are making a mistake here, by providing the wrong input, you have used openCV to scan the image. OpenCV Machine Learning is required for a better prospect.

 Instead of using the reshape method, you should use resize to input, which was the linear interpolation of images. That’s why your input is wrong. Your code seems quite well and correct.

Thus, for more details, study Machine Learning Course

Hope this answer helps.
