Neural Networks Learning Solution

In this exercise, you will implement the backpropagation algorithm for neural networks and apply it to the task  of hand-written digit recognition.  Before starting  on the programming  exercise, we strongly recommend watching the video lectures and completing the review questions for the associated topics.

To get started with the  exercise, you will need to download the  starter code and unzip its contents  to the directory where you wish to complete the exercise.  If needed, use the cd command  in Octave/MATLAB to change to this directory  before starting  this exercise.

You can also find instructions  for installing Octave/MATLAB in the “En- vironment Setup Instructions” of the course website.

 

 

Files included in  this exercise

 

ex4.m - Octave/MATLAB script that  steps you through  the exercise

ex4data1.mat - Training  set of hand-written digits

ex4weights.mat - Neural network parameters for exercise 4

submit.m - Submission script that  sends your solutions to our servers

displayData.m - Function  to help visualize the dataset fmincg.m - Function  minimization  routine  (similar to fminunc) sigmoid.m - Sigmoid function

computeNumericalGradient.m - Numerically compute gradients checkNNGradients.m - Function  to help check your gradients debugInitializeWeights.m - Function  for initializing weights predict.m - Neural network prediction  function

[?] sigmoidGradient.m - Compute  the gradient of the sigmoid function

[?] randInitializeWeights.m - Randomly initialize weights

[?] nnCostFunction.m - Neural network cost function

 

? indicates  files you will need to complete

 

Throughout the exercise, you will be using the script ex4.m. These scripts set up the dataset for the problems and make calls to functions that  you will write.  You do not need to modify the script.  You are only required to modify functions in other files, by following the instructions  in this assignment.
