Project Overview

This is my final project for USU 5600 - Intelligent Systems. I will be training a neural network on this Kaggle dataset (link). The purpose of this dataset is to determine whether someone on the Titanic disaster survived based on these inputs: ticket class, sex, age, # of family aboard, ticket number, passenger fare, cabin number, and port of embarkation.

Dependencies

I will be using Anaconda (link) with windows WSL. Anaconda comes preinstalled with many libraries that are helpful for AI work. It is HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED that you install CUDA if your device is capable of it. Anaconda will install CUDA capable libraries, but you will need to install CUDA yourself from here. The project will be done in a Jupyter notebook (comes with Anaconda) so make sure your IDE has support for them.

Run Instructions

1. Open project.ipynb in your IDE that supports Jupyter notebooks

2. Select the python interpreter from anaconda as the kernel to run the Jupyter notebook by:
   1. clicking the select kernel button in the top right corner (see image below)
   2. selecting the python interpreter with anaconda in the prompt that will appear in the top middle

3. Press the following buttons in this order (see image):
   1. Clear all Outputs
   2. Restart
   3. Run all

4. Wait until program finishes running. My computer took about 4 minutes, but your mileage may vary.

See project.ipynb for further details.
