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.

Interface to write numbers and recognize them

PHP neural network you can reuse
