The basic artificial neural network we created doesn’t have the best accuracy. Though it performed somewhat well in the recognition of MNIST test data images, it didn’t do as well in the recognition of real-world images. To improve its performance, we can do some adjustments to our model and training data.

We have previously through the process of recognizing numbers utilizing our artificial neural network (ANN). If you haven’t gone through that post on, you can do so now. However, we ran the recognition task on images from the MNIST dataset. Even though we used the test data, it’s still cannot be considered real-world. It’s clean, well-labeled, and structured, with a lot of the noise and ambiguity removed.
