Prediction of MNIST data sets using Keras!!

This article was published as part of the Data Science Blogathon

Introduction:

Technology. This data set consists of handwritten digits from the 0 al 9 and provides a pavement for testing image processing systems. This is considered the ‘hello world program in Machine Learning’ que involucra Deep Learning.

The steps involved are:

1. Import dataset
2. Divide the data set into test and training
3. Construction of the model
4. Train the model
5. Predict accuracy

1) Dataset import:

To continue with the code, we need the data set. Then, we think of various sources as data sets, FIA, kaggle, etc. But since we are using Python with its vast built-in modules, has the MNIST data in the keras.datasets module. Therefore, we don't need to download and store the data externally.

from keras.datsets import mnist
data = mnist.load_data()

Therefore, from the keras.datasets module we import the mnist function that contains the data set.

Later, the dataset is stored in the variable data using the mnist.load_data function () which loads the dataset into variable data.

Then, let's see the type of data that we find something unusual since it is of the type tuple. We know that the mnist dataset contains images of handwritten digits, stored in the form of tuples.

2) Divide the dataset into train and test:

We directly divide the data set into train and test. Then, For that, we initialize four variables X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test to damage the train and test the data for the dependent and independent values ​​respectively.

(X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = data
X_train[0].shape
X_train.shape

By printing the shape of each image we can find that it has a size of 28 × 28. Which means the image has 28 pixels x 28 pixels.

Now, we have to reshape in such a way that we can access every pixel of the image. The reason for accessing each pixel is that only then can we apply deep learning ideas and can assign a color code to each pixel. Then we store the reshaped array in X_train, X_test respectively.

X_train = X_train.reshape((X_train.shape[0], 28*28)).astype('float32')
X_test = X_test.reshape((X_test.shape[0], 28*28)).astype('float32')

We know the RGB color code where different values ​​produce various colors. It is also difficult to remember all the color combinations. Then, refer to this Link to get a brief idea about RGB color codes.

We already know that each pixel has its unique color code and we also know that it has a maximum value of 255. Para realizar Machine Learning, it is important to convert all values ​​of 0 a 255 for each pixel to a range of values ​​of 0 a 1. The simplest way is to divide the value of each pixel by 255 to get the values ​​in the range of 0 a 1.

X_train = X_train / 255
X_test = X_test / 255

Now we have finished dividing the data into test and training, as well as preparing the data for later use. Therefore, now we can move on to the pass 3: Model building.

3) Train the model:

To perform model building, we have to import the required functions, namely, sequential and dense to run deep learning, which is available in the Keras library.

But this is not directly available, so we must understand this simple line chart:

1) Hard -> Models -> Sequential

2) Hard -> Covers -> Denso

Let's see how we can import the functions with the same logic as a Python code.

from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(32, input_dim = 28 * 28, activation = 'reread'))
model.add(Dense(64, activation = 'reread'))
model.add(Dense(10, activation = 'softmax'))

Then we store the function in the variable model, as it makes it easy to access the function every time instead of typing the function every time, we can use the variable and call the function.

Later, turn the image into a dense group of layers and stack each layer on top of each other and use 'relu’ as our activation function. The explanation of ‘relu’ is beyond the scope of this blog. To get more information about it, you can consult that.

Besides, we stack a few more layers with ‘softmax’ as our activation function. For more information on the 'softmax' function, you can refer to this article, as it is beyond the scope of this blog again, since my main goal is to get as accurate as possible with the MNIST dataset.

Later, finally we compile the full model and use cross entropy as our loss function, to optimize the use of our model Adam as our optimizer and we use precision as metrics to evaluate our model.

For an overview of our model, usamos ‘model.summary ()’, which provides brief details about our model.

Now we can move on to the Pass 4: Train the model.

4) Train the model:

This is the penultimate step in which we are going to train the model with a single line of code. Then, For that, we are using the .fit function () which takes the set of trains of the dependent variable and the independent and dependent variable as input, and set epochs = 10, and set batch_size as 100.

Train set => X_train; y_train

Epochs => One epoch means training the neural network with all the training data for one cycle. An epoch is made up of one or more batches, where we use a part of the dataset to train the neural network. Which means we send the model to train 10 times to obtain high precision. You can also change the number of epochs based on the performance of the model.

Lot Size => Batch size is a term used in machine learning and refers to the number of training examples used in one iteration. Then, basically, we send 100 images to train as a batch per iteration.

Let's see the coding part.

Therefore, after training the model, we have achieved a precision of 97,88% for training data set. Now is the time to see how the model works in the test set and see if we have achieved the required accuracy. Therefore, now we go to the last step or step 5: Predict accuracy.

5) Prediction accuracy:

Then, to find out how well the model works on the test dataset, I use the scores variable to store the value and use the .evaluate function () which takes the test set of the dependent and independent variables as input. This calculates the loss and precision of the model in the test set. How we focus on precision, we print only the precision.

Finally, we have achieved the result and ensure an accuracy of more than 96% in the test set which is very appreciable, and the blog motive is achieved. I have written the link to laptop for your reference (readers).
