Training Our Classifier

Training Our Classifier

Learn to train the classifier in this lesson.

Training a classifier neural network is now really simple. That’s because we’ve done all the hard work setting up the dataset class and the neural network class.

Creating a neural network object

We first create a neural network from our Classifier class.

Press + to interact
# create neural network
C = Classifier()

Training the network

To train the network, the code is again very simple:

Press + to interact
# train network on MNIST data set
for label, image_data_tensor, target_tensor in mnist_dataset:
C.train(image_data_tensor, target_tensor)
pass

The mnist_dataset inherits from PyTorch’s Dataset allowing us to work through all the training data with an elegant ...
