The Final Neural Network for MNIST Dataset

Looking back over this work, we’ve created a neural network using only the simple concepts we covered earlier and implementing them using simple Python.

This neural network has performed really well, without any extra fancy mathematics. Its performance is very respectable compared to the networks that academics and researchers make.

Try to experiment further with the neural network we’ve already made—try a different number of hidden nodes, or a different scaling, or even a different activation function, just to see what happens.
