Too Long; Didn't Read
Two weeks ago, we began our machine study in earnest by constructing a full neural network. But this network was still quite simple by deep learning standards. In this article, we’re going to tackle a much more difficult problem: image recognition. Of course, we’ll still be using a well known data set with well-known results, so this is only the tip of the iceberg. We’ll be using the <a href="http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/" target="_blank">MNIST data set</a>. This set classifies images of handwritten digits as the numbers 0–9. This problem is so well-known that the folks at Tensor Flow refer to it as the “Hello World” of machine learning.
