# NeuralNetworkPY
A basic, easy-to-use, neural network library built from scratch in python. Only dependency is numpy.

## Examples
I find examples are what I want when I go to a readme so I'm going to start with it. References for everything in this package can be found below.

### Creating a Network to Understand XOR
```python
    #Initialize the network with 2 inputs, 1 hidden layer with 5 neurons, 2 outputs
    nn = NeuralNetwork(2, [5], 2) 

    #Setting up the training data
    data = []
    data.append(np.array([0, 1]))
    data.append(np.array([1, 0]))
    data.append(np.array([1, 1]))
    data.append(np.array([0, 0]))
    out = [[0, 1], [0, 1], [1, 0], [1, 0]] #The expected output for every input added above 
    #(i.e. 0 xor 1 = 1  which in array form is [0, 1] because the guess function returns the index of the highest value, 1 in this case)

    #Train the network
    import random as rand
    for i in range(50000):
        index = rand.randint(0, 3) #randomizes which value we train with on each iteration
        nn.train(data[index], out[index])

    #Print the guess for every input
    print('')
    for ar in data:
        print(str(ar[0]) + " xor " + str(ar[1]) + " = " + str(nn.guess(ar)))
```

### NeuralNetwork and MNIST Example ("The hello world! of machine learning")
```python
#This may take a long time to run, 2-10 minutes, depending on the speed of your cpu
#I know it isn't commented the best, I've been writing documentation for hours at this point lol

import NeuralNetworkPY
import numpy as np
import struct
import random as rand

#Data obtained from http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/. These files MUST be in same directory

def read_idx(filename):
    with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
        zero, data_type, dims = struct.unpack('>HBB', f.read(4))
        shape = tuple(struct.unpack('>I', f.read(4))[0] for d in range(dims))
        return np.frombuffer(f.read(), dtype=np.uint8).reshape(shape)

def prepImgs(raw_images):
    images = np.array([None for i in range(len(raw_images))])
    for i in range(len(raw_images)):
        images[i] = raw_images[i].flatten()
        images[i] = images[i] / 255
    return images

def createOutput(val):
    out = []
    for i in range(10):
        if (i == val):
            out.append(1.0)
        else:
            out.append(0.0)
    return np.array([out]).transpose()

def guessToNum(guess):
    max = guess[0]
    index = 0
    for i in range(len(guess)-1):
        if (guess[i+1] > max):
            max = guess[i+1]
            index = i+1
    return index

#Load images and labels from files
raw_images = read_idx('train-images.idx3-ubyte')
labels = read_idx('train-labels.idx1-ubyte')

#Prep the images into a big array (need to normalize all values and flatten the 2D array to a 1D)
images = prepImgs(raw_images)

#Setup network with 784 inputs (the images are 28*28 = 784), one hidden layer with 50 neurons, and 10 outputs (there are 10 possible values)
digitRecog = NeuralNetworkPY.NeuralNetwork(784, [50], 10)
digitRecog.setLearningRate(0.05)

for n in range(10): #train the network in 10 epochs
    for i in range(len(images)): #in each epoch, train the network with a random image n times where n is the number of images
        index = rand.randint(0, len(images)-1) #choose random image
        digitRecog.train(images[index], createOutput(labels[index])) #train the network for one iteration

#get and setup testing data
test_raw_images = read_idx('t10k-images.idx3-ubyte')
test_images = prepImgs(test_raw_images)
test_labels = read_idx('t10k-labels.idx1-ubyte')
correct = 0
total = len(test_images)

#loop through all test images, count how many the network got right
for i in range(len(test_images)):
    guess = digitRecog.feedForward(test_images[i])
    if (guessToNum(guess) == test_labels[i]):
        correct = correct + 1

#print results
print("The Network guessed " + str(correct) + "/" + str(total) + " (" + str(100*correct/total) + "%) correct")
```
