Using Neural Nets to Recognize Handwritten Digits
- john111 10y agoThis is a nice write up. I like that it explains things from a fairly low-level. However, I think their code is a bit too high-level for a first time learning exercise. If you want to learn more, I would suggest using a very low-level library to start with. Something like Genann[1] or LWNN[2] or maybe even FANN[3]. I think that when you work at a high level right off, it's really hard to gain the understanding you get from working at first principles first.
