[SOLVED] ECE471 Assignment3 -Classify mnist digits with a convoultional neural network

Description

Classify mnist digits with a convoultional neural network. Get at least 95.5%    accuracy on the test test.

007

008         Problem Statement      Consider the mnist dataset consisting of 50,000 training

009

images, and 10,000 test images. Each instance is a 28 28 pixel handwritten digit

010                                                                                                                              ×

011           zero through nine. Train a convolutional neural network for classification using

012          the training set that achieves at least 95.5% accuracy on the test set. Do not

013 explicitly tune hyperparameters based on the test set performance, use a validation

014

015          set taken from the training set as discussed in class. Use dropout and an L² penalty

016          for regularization. Note: if you write a sufficiently general program the next

017 assignment will be very easy.

018

⁰¹⁹            Do not use the built in mnist data class from tensorflow.

Extra challenge (optional)    In addition to the above, the student with the fewest

023

024           number of parameters for a network that gets at least 80% accuracy on the test set

⁰²⁵            will receive a prize. There will be an extra prize if any one can achieve 80% on the

026

test set with a single digit number of parameters. For this extra challenge you can

027

028          make your network have any crazy kind of topology you’d like, it just needs to be ⁰²⁹           optimized by a gradient based algorithm.
