This neural network is made for the MNIST dataset which contains 60,000 training and 10,000 testing images of handwritten digits.
You can find the MNIST dataset here.
These are two benchmarks ran on my machine.
No GPU was used, it should be interesting to see the training time when a GPU is used.
- 97.75% (12 minutes):
- 20 epochs
- 0.02 learning rate
- 300 hidden nodes
- 97.13% (4 minutes):
- 5 epochs
- 0.1 learning rate
- 300 hidden nodes
Draw on a 28x28 png. Make sure to center the digit and make it averagely sized.
three.png is my example, you can replace it.
This neural network wasn't trained on preprocessed images (moved, rotated, sharpened, blurred, etc).
