Toy Neural Networks in Processing

I saw every Coding Train’s video about NN with P5 and i’ve tried to export his code into Prcossessing. Actually, it seems to work correctly with only one output node, otherwise it makes itself crazy.
I’ve rewrite this code for about two time and I havent so the mistake yet : (
The NN here should solve something like XOR problem, but with two colors, so it doesnt.
Waiting for your help :sunny:
Sorry for my awful English

Please provide a link to the repo where you get this code from or a link to Shiffman’s video.

Any ideas? Honestly, i still dont know where te problem is

Hey Vadsavin,
I have code for writing neural networks in Processing (written before the CodingTrain series, so it’s a bit rough). My code is essentially a template, so you can set your own number of layers with any number of neurons. You would just have to rework the training algorithm (you can probably work backwards off of Mr. Shiffman’s example). PM me if you want the code/an explanation as to how I wrote it. If not, I would say you should start from the top, with a piece of paper, and track how everything works. I assume you have at least moderate experience with Processing and neural networks- tracing neural nets without experience can be quite frustrating. If you do not have that much experience with neural nets, I would suggest doing some research into basic feed-forward networks- this part is just matrix math. The training algorithm is where things get very tricky- study that a lot, and write down the math. If you can follow the math, compare it to Shiffman’s example and your port of the example. Check out this resource- it’s very helpful: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/
Best of luck with your project- I know from experience it’s not easy, and Processing doesn’t make it easier at all.

Yay, I wonder if you show me your code

Man, please, share your code
