- Neural Network
The MNIST dataset can be found here - http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/ The csv files are not included in this repository as the files are too large.
Results:
With a 20 node hidden layer and training on 59,000 images, the neural network achieved an accuracy of 91.4% on 1000 test images.
