Test the Network on a Subset
Test the network on a MNIST dataset.

Test the network
Now that we’ve trained the network, at least on a small subset of 100 records, we want to test how well that worked. We’ll do this against the second dataset, the training dataset.
First we need to get the test records, and the Python code we’ll use is very similar to what we used to get the training data:

# load the mnist test data CSV file into a listtest_data_file = open("mnist_test_10.csv", 'r')test_data_list = test_data_file.readlines()test_data_file.close()
We unpack this data the same way as before, because it has the same structure:

# load the mnist test data CSV file into a listtest_data_file = open("mnist_test_10.csv", 'r')test_data_list = test_data_file.readlines()test_data_file.close()#get the first test recordall_values = test_data_list[0].split(',')#print the labelprint(all_values[0])
Before we create a loop to go through all the test records, let’s see what happens if we manually run one test. The following code shows the tenth record from the test dataset being used to query the now-trained neural network:

image_array = numpy.asfarray(all_values[1:]).reshape((28,28))matplotlib.pyplot.imshow(image_array, cmap = 'Greys', interpolation = 'None')matplotlib.pyplot.savefig("output/samplePlot3.png")
We can see that the label for the ...
