Php Neural Network

TLDR: See project here !

I decided to implement a neural network (multilayer perceptron) from scratch, and using PHP.

That was a fun project where I then used this neural network to recognize hand written numbers.

The artificial intelligence reached a 97% success rate on learning samples, and 95% on learning samples it never met before.

I developed the interface to write number and send it to the neural network. I tested it, and unfortunately it works not as good as I though. It is because numbers we write on the interface generate images with a number that does not looks like the samples:

• the pencil is thiner and “harder” than the samples
• the written number is not as centered as is samples

But it recognize most of numbers we write after 10 minutes of learning.
