FFN_Classification

Feed Forward Neural Network - Classification

A C++ program that performs classification using a Feed Forward Neural Network and returns the accuracy of the model

Ensure the path for mlpack has been set:

By default mlpack is installed to /usr/local/, if you have installed somewhere specify that path.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Compile Program with the following command:

clang++ -L/usr/local/lib -l mlpack -l armadillo -l boost_serialization -l boost_program_options -I/usr/local/include FFN.cpp

Run:

The program takes two command line arguments

• data.csv - input data with last column as label
• epochs - number of epochs to train

./a.out <data.csv> <epochs>

Note:

• The given data is split into training and testing with a ratio of 80/20. Accuracy Score is reported from test data.
• Model is trained using a standard Gradient Descent optimizer and a log likelihood loss function
