Neural-Network

This repository is a personal project I started to gain a better understanding of how simple (and complex) neural network systems work. I hope to add more to this repository in the future.

I originally wrote the basic network by following 3Blue1Brown's Neural Network Video

How to Run

Work on my PC

1. Start by downloading the MNIST data set, move the following files into the root folder

train-images.idx3-ubyte
train-labels.idx1-ubyte
t10k-images.idx3-ubyte
t10k-labels.idx1-ubyte

2. Then run the command make
3. This should make a Run.exe file
4. Running the Run.exe file will execute main in the Driver.cc file

Notes

• On average, I see an accuracy of just above 89% (on the BasicNetwork)
• BitNetwork is a WIP (an Idea after I saw this research paper)
  • Untested and probably not made correct (if I have even started on it, which I have not at time of writting)
• The Matrix class is garbage (I'm not sorry; it does what I want it to)
• The bias variable exists... but I never implemented it
